(3) Wire retract button
For retracting the wire electrode with no accompanying flow of gas or cur-
rent
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 "Wire retract" button
-
The wire electrode will be retracted 1 mm (0.039 in.) after the wire re-
tract button is pressed
-
After a short pause, the wirefeeder continues to retract the wire elec-
trode. If the wire retract button remains pressed, the speed will in-
crease every second at a rate of 10 m/min (393.70 ipm) until the pre-
set wire retract speed is reached
Method 2
Retracting the wire electrode in 1 mm increments (0.039 in. increments) –
always press the wire retract button for less than one second (tap)
NOTE!
Do not allow long lengths of wire electrode to be retracted, as the wire electrode
is not wound onto the wirespool or the welding wire drum when retracted.
NOTE!
If there was a ground earth connection with the contact tip before the wire re-
tract button was pressed, the wire electrode will be retracted when the button is
pressed until it is short-circuit-free - it retracts by no more 10 mm (0.39 in.) with
each press of the button.
If the wire electrode still needs to be retracted, press the wire retract button
again.
(4) Wire threading button
For threading the wire electrode into the torch hosepack with no accom-
panying flow of gas or current
Wire threading can be performed using one of two methods:
Method 1
Retracting the wire electrode using the preset feeder inching speed:
Press and hold "Wire threading" button
