Notes on wire threading
If contact is made with the earth during wire threading, the wire electrode is
automatically stopped.
When the torch trigger is pressed once, the wire electrode moves forwards 1 mm.
With a push wire feeding system:
If contact is made with the workpiece during threading, the wire play in the inner
liner is measured. If the measurement is successful, a wire play value is entered
in the event logbook, which is used to control the system.
