If the Feeder inching button is released and pressed again before one second has elapsed, 
the sequence starts again from the beginning. This makes it possible to continuously po-
sition the wire at a low wire feed speed of 1 m/min or 39.37 ipm where necessary.
If there is no Feeder inching/Gas test button, the torch trigger can be used in the same 
way. Before using the torch trigger for wire threading, proceed as follows:
Press the Mode button to select 2-step mode
Set the "Ito" parameter to "Off" in the set-up menu
CAUTION!
Risk of injury and damage from electric shock and from the wire electrode emerging 
at speed from the torch.
When pressing the torch trigger:
► keep the welding torch away from your face and body
► wear suitable protective goggles
► do not point the welding torch at people
► make sure that the wire electrode does not touch any conductive or earthed parts, such 
as the housing, etc.
IMPORTANT! If the torch trigger is pressed instead of the Feeder inching/Gas test but-
ton, the welding wire runs at the feeder creep speed (depending on the welding program) 
for the first 3 seconds. After these 3 seconds, wirefeeding is briefly interrupted.
The welding system detects that the welding process should not start, but that the wire is 
to be threaded. At the same time, the gas solenoid valve closes, and the welding voltage 
on the wire electrode is switched off. 
If the torch trigger is held down, wirefeeding restarts immediately without shielding gas and 
welding voltage, and the process continues as described above.

Setting the con-
tact pressure
NOTE!
Set the contact pressure in such a way that the wire electrode is not deformed but 
nevertheless ensures proper wirefeeding.
