Welding methods
2 Step
In two step, pressing the button causes the gas to flow,
feeds voltage to the wire and makes it advance; when
it is released, the gas, the voltage and the wire feed are
turned off.
4 Step
In four step first pressure on the button causes the gas
to flow with a manual pre-gas time; releasing it activates
the voltage to the wire and its feed.
The following pressure on the button stops the wire and
causes the final process to start which brings the current back
to zero; finally releasing the button turns off the gas flow.
Crater filler (WF...Exclusive)
Allows welding to be done with three different power
levels able to be directly selected and controlled by the
welder using the torch button.
The first pressure on the button causes the gas to flow,
activates the voltage to the wire and feeds it at the
speed set by the "initial increment" parameter (during
set up) and with the relative synergic values of the weld-
ing parameters.
When the torch button is released, the wire speed and
the relative synergic parameters change automatically
to the main values set on the control panel.
The next pressure on the torch button brings the wire
speed and the relative synergic parameters to the pre-
set (during set up) crater filler parameter values.
Releasing the torch button stops the wire feed and sup-
plies the power for the burn back and post-gas stages.
