(2) Gas-test button
For setting the required gas flow rate on the pressure regulator
- Gas will flow out for 30 seconds after the gas-test button is pressed. Press the
button again to stop the gas flow prematurely
(3) Wire retract button
For retracting the wire electrode with no accompanying flow of gas or current
- While the button is being pressed, the wirefeeder runs at the preset wire retract
speed
The wire electrode can be retracted using one of two methods:
Method 1
Retracting the wire electrode using the preset wire retract speed:
- Press and hold the wire retract button
After pressing the wire retract button, the wire electrode is retracted by 1 mm
(0.039 in.).
After a short pause, the wirefeeder continues to retract the wire electrode - if the
wire retract button remains pressed, the speed increases every second by 10 m/
min (393.70 ipm) up to the preset wire retract speed.
