1st Step
Press and hold torch trigger
• Shielding gas flows out (Gas pre-flow)
• Wire feed motor runs at “Creep speed“
• The arc strikes once the welding wire hits the workpiece, welding current flows.
• Change over to pre-selected wire-feed speed.
2nd Stroke
Release torch trigger
• Wire-feed motor stops.
• The arc is switched off after the preset wire burn-back time.
Advantage: Prevents the wire becoming stuck in the weld-pool.
• Gas after-flow time runs.
