14.2 Electrode welding process
Switch on the system
 If necessary, switch the system on by pressing button
17 for 2 sec.
 Keep pressing button 16 until the electrode operating
function is selected.
9 The electrode icon MMA or CEL (LED 13 or 14) lights
up.
 Use control knob 12 to set the desired welding current.
Arc ignition
 Briey touch the workpiece at the point to be welded
using the electrode and lift the electrode a little.
9 The arc burns between the workpiece and the elec-
trode.
Hotstart
In the electrode welding method, a hotstart of 125 %
of the set welding current is used for 1 second for igni-
tion. Like the welding current, the hotstart is limited to
a maximum of 150 A.

14.3 TIG welding process
Switch on the system
 If necessary, switch the system on by pressing button
17 for 2 sec.
 Keep pressing button 16 until the TIG operating func-
tion is selected.
9 The TIG icon (LED 15) lights up.
 Use control knob 12 to set the desired welding current.
Arc ignition
VIII
 Open the valve 56 on the TIG welding torch.
 Briey touch the workpiece with the tip of the elec-
trode at the point to be welded.
 Lift the electrode a little.
9 The arc burns between the workpiece and the elec-
trode.
Upslope
A short-circuit current of 60 A is used for igniting during
the TIG welding process. The upslope takes place with
115 A/s until the set welding current is reached.
