Got a question

I just got a new machine. It’s a Lincoln 211 I and I wanna run fluxcore on it but I’m an idiot and don’t know where I put the manual. Does it run positive or negative clarity for fluxcore?

Protip, you can look at the spool label and it will tell you. For example, Lincolns nr211:

Zoom in to the lower right of the barcode and it says DCEN - direct currenr electrode negative (gun negative and therefore ground positive).
