1st Step
Press and hold torch trigger (until the arc is struck)
•
Shielding gas flows out of torch
• 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
If welding is interrupted for more than 3 sec., the wire-feed, welding voltage and gas are
switched off!
3rd Stroke
Press torch trigger (has no effect)
4th Stroke
Release torch trigger
• Wire-feed motor stops.
• The arc is switched off after the preset wire burn-back time.
• Gas after-flow time runs.
