    ....the optional conversion kit for using shielding gas & solid wire is #K610-1. Yours might or might not have come with the kit. The kit gives you everything you need to run either .025 or .030 solid wire {use the .025 for thin stuff}. Doesn't include the bottle but you can either rent or buy one. Use the 75/25 gas, the 100 argon is too expensive & the 100 cheapo stuff {don't remember which gas it is} looks ugly & splatters a bunch. 75/25 is a good compromise.... They also sell an Aluminum kit #K664-2.... And I'll second the "use the shielded gas". The welds look SO much better & as stated above, you can weld thinner stuff..... Your local welding store should have all this.... Bill
    Oh, & Lincoln also sells a 'How to weld video'. Learning how to Mig weld isn't hard, you'll have fun. Good luck & Enjoy l
