2.1 Operating concept of the operating modes
2.1.1 Operating mode 2-cycles
1st cycle --> Press and hold torch button
• Solenoid valve for shielding gas opens
• Weld voltage is applied on wire electrode
• Wire feed starts with reduced speed (inching-in)
• Arc ignites, weld current flows
• Wire feed switches to the preset speed
2nd cycle -->Release torch button
• Wire feed stops
• Weld voltage switches off after expiration of the "burnback time“
• Arc extinguishes
• Solenoid valve closes after expiration of the "gas post-flow time“
