Anti-stick func-
tion
As the arc becomes shorter, the welding voltage may drop so far that the rod electrode
will tend to "stick". This may also cause "burn-out" of the rod electrode.
Electrode burn-out is prevented by activating the anti-stick function. If the rod electrode
begins to stick, the power source immediately switches the welding current off. After the
rod electrode has been detached from the workpiece, the welding operation can be con-
tinued without difficulty.
The anti-stick (Ast) function can be activated and deactivated in the Setup parameters in
"Setup menu: level 2".
