The down-slope time of the welding current
can be interrupted by quickly pressing the torch
switch.

You can go back to the welding current from the
down-slope current by pressing the torch switch
down. After that, the current will rise at a rate
corresponding to the down-slope time.
4-function (4T) / spark ignition
1. Press the torch switch down. The shielding gas starts
to ow.
2. Release the torch switch. The ignition spark ignites the
arc and the current will rise to the welding level

arc will ignite and the welding current will rise to
the welding level within the up-slope time.
4. Press the torch switch down. The welding continues.
5. Release the torch switch, and the welding current will
drop and stop after the selected down-slope time.
After the arc is turned o, the shielding gas will
