setting gauges argon

hi using this for the first time i have attached a pic of the regulator could anybody tell me how to set it up basics ?

Screw reg on bottle and tighten firmly but not real hard.
Connect gas line from MIG (you did get the adapter?)
Open bottle valve slowly.
Adjust black knob until the flow gauge reads 10LPM or 20SCFM.

That's all, but check output gauge as the setting may "settle" in a bit.

A quick "how too", is found here http://www.mig-welding.co.uk/wiki/Setting_up_the_gas

You only need to open the valve on the bottle 1/2 turn, no need to wind it fully open and it's dangerous to do so.
