Spot and stitch welding
General The spot and stitch welding modes are MIG/MAG welding processes.
Spot welding is used on overlapping sheets that are only accessible on one side.
Stitch welding is used for light-gauge sheets.
As the wire electrode is not fed continuously, the weld pool can cool down during the inter-
vals. Local overheating leading to the base material being melted through is largely avoid-
ed.
Spot welding Press the "Process" button to select MANUAL or SYNERGIC
Press the "Mode" button to select the spot welding/stitch welding mode:
= spot welding/stitch welding
Set the SPt parameter in the Setup menu (spot welding time/stitch welding time) to the
desired value
Set the desired parameters depending on the process (MANUAL or SYNERGIC)
Ensure that the grounding (earthing) connection has been established
Ensure that the shielding gas supply has been established
- Power source is ready for welding
Stitch welding Press the "Process" button to select MANUAL or SYNERGIC
Press the "Mode" button to select the spot welding/stitch welding mode:

desired value
Set the SPb parameter in the Setup menu (spot welding/stitch pause time) to the de-
sired value
Set the Int parameter in the Setup menu (interval) to the desired value
Set the desired parameters depending on the process (MANUAL or SYNERGIC)
Ensure that the grounding (earthing) connection has been established
