Notes:
♦ Monopolar blend output mode can be used with advantage in many cutting procedures, particularly when only
a single (yellow) footswitch is being used.
♦ The blend mode produces less output power for a given control setting than normal cut, as shown on digital
power display (8 of illustration 11).
