Spend some time on weldingtipsandtricks.com and if you don't have the manual, get one. You need to determine the size of the liner and the tip before just loading up some wire.

For some 3/16ths steel set the wire speed to around 160-180 and the current in the middle using .035 solid wire (needs gas). Hold the torch close and about straight in. Move it around in little circles or any little pattern you like. They all produce slightly different effects. It doesn't really mean much if you push or pull the puddle by leaning the torch angle. Either way, keep it almost 90 degrees. Look at the back side for plenty of heat color change, that will be in indicator of your penetration.

150 bucks? Why don't I ever see a deal like that? It's way over a grand new.
