1 - Stepless welding current setting (A ∆ m/min)
Sets the welding current stepless from 1 - 20 (min. - max.).
For recommended settings see section 2.2.
In correlation to the setting of the electrode wire selector switch (pos. 8) the wire feed is automatically set to the
optimal speed. Fine tuning is possible with the welding voltage pot (pos. 2) (long or short arc).
2 - Welding voltage fine tuning
With this control the automatically computed wire feed speed can be adjusted. The penetration depth can be
corrected to + and - (long or short arc) and thus allows for individual fine tuning for position welding or for different
material specifications.
The 0 position is the optimal point on the characteristic curve.
By turning the control towards - corrects into a short arc.
Turning towards + corrects into a long arc (to spray arc).
3 - Neon control light
4 - Overload control light
5 - Torch lead connector (Euro-connector)
6 - Mains ON/OFF switch
7 - Earth cable socket
8 - Electrode wire selector switch
It is important to always have the correct wire size selected, else the computer can not compute the correct wire
feed speed for the electrode wire used.
The following constant current characteristics are preprogrammed:
9 - Weld time setting 0 - 10 sec. only for stitch (...) and spot weld (.) mode.
10 - Backburn timer (FBZ)
The correct setting of the backburn timer prevents the electrode wire from sticking to the weldpool and the
forming of a drop at the wire tip. Also this control sets the gas post flow time.
11 - Dwell time setting 0 - 10 sec. only for stitch (...) weld mode.
12 - Touch control switch for wire feed without gas flow (to run electrode wire through torch lead).
13 - Operating mode
Settings 1 - 2-step mode
Actuating the torch's trigger switch starts the welding process, releasing the trigger switch stops the welding
process.
