Material selection button
This is used to select welded base material for optimal characteristics in the internal control panel.
Wire diameter selection button
This is used to select the diameter of the installed wire in the internal control panel.
Wire inching and gas purge button
Wire inching is used to feed wire without welding voltage being applied. The wire is fed as long as
the button is pressed. This function is active in MIG applications only.
Gas purging is used while measuring the gas flow or for flushing any air or moisture from the gas
hoses before welding starts. Gas purging occurs for 15 seconds when the gas purge button or torch
trigger is pressed or until it is pressed again. Gas purge occurs without voltage or wire feed start.
This function is active in MIG applications only.
6.4 Menu selection
6.4.1 MIG/MAG
In MIG mode, press the parameter selection button three times to navigate to MENU option. Select the
desired welding function one after other by turning the left potentiometer knob and adjust the desired
value by turning the right potentiometer knob.

Burnback (B-B)
Burnback time is a delay between the time when the wire starts to brake until the time when the
power source switches off the welding voltage.
Too short burnback time results in a long wire stick out after completion of welding, with a risk of the
wire being caught in the solidifying weld pool.
Too long a burnback time results in a shorter stick out, with increased risk of the arc striking back to
the contact tip.
Crater fill (CRA)
Crater filling makes a controlled reduction in the heat and size of the weld pool possible when
completing the weld. This makes it easier to avoid pores, thermal cracking and crater formation in the
weld joint.
Pre/flow (PRG)
Pre-flow controls the time during which shielding gas flows before the arc is struck.
Post/flow (POG)
This controls the time during which shielding gas flows after the arc is extinguished.
Creep start (RIN)
Creep start feeds out the wire at a low wire feed speed until it makes electrical contact with the
workpiece.
