When the arc strikes, the current is set to the first level. As long as
the torch pushbutton is pressed, the current remains on the first level.
Upon releasing the torch pushbutton, the current passes from first to
second level within the slope time; once the second level is reached,
this is maintained. In order to pass to the third current level, simply
press the torch pushbutton and the current is adjusted to the fourth
value selected within the set slope time. When the torch pushbutton is
released welding stops and the post gas procedure is run.
Not available with robot mode activated.
When the torch pushbutton is pressed and released, the torch
switches between two preset levels as many times as the operator
wishes. Welding stops when the operator holds the torch pushbutton
continually pressed for at least 1 second.
Not available with robot mode activated.
This mode is for spot welding. Not available with robot mode
