Gas pre-flow (MIG/MAG)
Gas pre-flow ensures protection of the
weld from atmospheric air prior to welding. Gas pre-flow
time is the time from activating the torch trigger until
wire feeding starts. The gas pre-flow time is adjustable
between 0.0 and 10.0 seconds.
Soft-start (MIG/MAG)
Soft-start sets the initial wire feed
speed and improves the ignition characteristics. Soft-start
speed of the wire is adjustable between 0.0 and
18.0 m/min.
Burn-back (MIG/MAG)
Burn-back prevents the wire from
sticking to the weld pool at the end of a weld. Burn-back
is adjustable in steps between 0 and 30.
Gas post-flow time (MIG/MAG)
Gas post-flow time ensures protection
of the weld pool after welding and cools off the torch.
Gas post-flow time is the time from extinguishing the
arc to disconnecting the gas flow. Gas post-flow time is
adjustable between 0.0 and 20.0 seconds.
Spot time (MIG/MAG)
When the spot time function is active,
welding will stop automatically after expiry of the set spot
time. In MIG/MAG, it is possible to stop welding before
the spot time expires by pressing the torch trigger.
If the spot time is altered during welding, the alteration
has no effect till next welding. Spot time is adjustable
between 0.0 and 50.0 seconds. The spot time function
becomes inactive at 0.0 second.

Reduction of the adjustable range for
voltage setting (synergic MIG/MAG).
The adjustable range for voltage trim can be
reduced by 0-50% of the synergic voltage. This
feature is used if the machine is locked in level 2
and disabled when "---" is displayed.
Reduction of the adjustable range for
current setting (MMA/synergic MIG/MAG)
or wire feed speed (manual MIG)
The adjustable range for current setting can be
reduced by 0-25% of the synergic current. This
feature is used if the machine is locked in level 2.
