Operating manual
SPOT WELDING MODE
• SPOT WELDING
This welding mode allows the pre-assembly of parts before welding. Spot welding can be done manually using the trigger or timed with a predefined
spot welding period. This spot welding makes reproduction and execution of non-oxidised weld points easier (accessible in the advanced menu).
• TIME LIMITS
This is a welding mode similar to SPOT welding but with predefined weld and dwell times, as long as the trigger is held down.

vanced). Refer to the HMI manual.

Units
Amount of filler metal deposited and consequently the welding intensity and penetration.
V
Control over the cord's width.
-
Lessens the welding current more or less. To be set according to the welding position.
s
When the torch is bled and the gas shield is created before ignition.
Duration of the gas protection after the arc is extinguished. It protects the workpiece and the electrode from
s
oxidation.
The pre-installed user settings (syngergies) allow for a fully-automatic set-up. Working with different

automatically sets the appropriate thread tension and speed.
The welding current is set according to the type of wire used and the material to be

welded.
-
Used to adjust the distance between the end of the wire and the weld pool (tension adjustment).
%
Progressive yarn speed. Before priming, the wire moves slowly to create the first contact without jolting.
The Hot Start is an overcurrent used at the start that prevents the wire from sticking to the workpiece. The
% & s
intensity (% of welding current) and the time (seconds) can be programmed.
This idling bearing current is a phase after the current is lowered.
%
The intensity (% of welding current) and the time (seconds) can be programmed.
Gradual current increase. The current is controlled between the first contact and the welding process in order
s
to avoid the possibility of violent ignitions or jolts.

Upslope current
%
Second welding current known as a «cold» welding current.
Hz
Pulse frequency
%
In pulsed mode, the hot current time is adjusted in relation to the cold current time.
s
Downslope current.
s
Set duration.
s
Time between the end of a point (excluding Post-Gas) and the start of a new point (including Pre-Gas).
Feature preventing the thread sticking to the bead. This is timed to coincide with the wire rising from the weld

pool.
