welcome mark!
From what i can see th round dial is your wire speed (1 very slow 10 faster)
the two switches show course setting on the right and fine on the left (i take it you worked out what the on/off switch does!!!)

Occasionally the 1/2 on the left is course and the min/max is fine. There's no real convention for MIG welders, and I've no idea if the good Mr Burning has looked the Snapon up (do tell me if you have). The certain way to figure out the order is to put a voltmeter between the contact tip and the earth, pull the trigger without arcing and measure the voltage for the various settings. The order of increasing voltage is the order of increasing power.
Agreed on the on/off switch and the wire feed knob.
Little yellow thing could be a temperature warning light.

On my welder the order goes 1 min 2 min, 1 max 2 max, but I don't think that that is very common for welders. It didn't say on my welder so I just played around until I got the hang of it. Oh, and on my one, I have got a little yellow thingy, that is a button to press to reset it after the thermal overload thingy has tripped.

Had one years ago and that was how mine was set up but i would still check with the volt meter to be sure.
Yep mark course and fine settings about power!;

They'll not have changed - I do apologise.

My memoary dulls with time Malc so it is more than quite possible you are correct and i should retreat to my hole!!!
Age is a b****d!!!!

I know it's a hell of a thread resurrection, but I only just uncovered this little treasure, especially the info on the switches; I've only used my Snap-On 2135 for a day and I thought the dial was for voltage!
So, can anyone confirm the sequence of switches to increase the power, from low to high?

Hi
I have just bought a used Snap-on 2135. Just organising the gas and some consumables then I will start to use it this weekend.
Does anyone have a instruction and or service manuals for it? I found this Snap on Turbo 130 link on another post here.

Seems to be a very similar welder to the 2135, but the service manual is password protected..
Also power order still is not clear to me. Does it go low to high:
min 1, min 2, max 1, max 2
or
min 1, max 1, min 2, max 2?
I'll be very grateful for any info.

If you have a multimeter set to DC range and connect between torch tip and earth (work return) clamp, release wire feeder pressure, then pull trigger on each setting, lowest voltage is bottom setting.
