Also I would appreciate some advice, when welding Aluminum I find it hard to get a nice tidy bead and it's pissing me off someone help please!!
Just flip the switch to ac, and have at it. I hope you are more familiar with your machine than I am, I just had to read through the manual to figure out all the hidden menus. The defaults should be ok for messing around. I use either green or red, mostly red tungsten. I grind them too. the green is kinda unstable though. It will form it's own ball, but if you see the ball getting bigger than the dia of the tungsten you need a larger tungsten. if you seel the ball movin and changing shape while welding.....be prepared to grind a chunk of it out of your alum cuz it's about to fall off. This is why I run red. I'd start with 1/8" material and work my way to the thinner stuff if I were you.
