Function explanations
Open the lid for access of the 2-4 stroke and the creep start functions.
2 stroke
With 2 stroke, wire feed starts when the trigger switch is pressed in and ends when
it is released.
4 stroke
With 4 stroke, the gas flow starts when the trigger switch is pressed in and the wire
feed starts when it is released. The welding process continues until the switch is
pressed in again, the wire feed stops and when the switch is released the gas stops
flowing.
Creep start
Creep start means that the wire is fed at low speed (1.5 m/min) until it comes into
electrical contact with the workpiece and then the speed increases to the set speed.
Burnback time
Burnback time is not adjustable delay between the time when the wire starts to
brake, until the time when the power source switches off the welding power.
Wire inching
Wire inching is used when one needs to feed wire without welding voltage being
applied. The wire is fed with a fixed speed of 9 m/min as long as the switch is held to
the left.
Gas purging
Gas purging is used when measuring the gas flow or to flush any air or moisture
from the gas hoses before welding starts. Gas purging occurs for as long as the
switch is held to the right and occurs without voltage or wire feed starting.
Wire feed speed
This sets the required feed speed of the filler wire in m/minute or in inch/minute.
