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 (Quasar...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.

Synergy (Quasar...Smart)
Allows selection of the manual MIG
process by setting the type of material to be welded.
Manual MIG/MAG process.
Synergic MIG/MAG process, welding of carbon steel.
Synergic MIG/MAG process, welding of stainless steel.
Synergic MIG/MAG process, welding of aluminium.
Synergic MIG/MAG process, welding of flux-core wire.
15
Wire diameter (Quasar...Smart)
In synergy, allows selection of the wire diameter used
(mm).
16
Synergy (Quasar...Exclusive)
Lets you select a preset welding program (synergy) by
choosing a few simple settings:
- wire type
- gas type
- wire diameter

Programs (Quasar...Exclusive)
Allows the storage and management of 64 welding pro-
grams which can be personalised by the operator.
Program storage
Enter the "program storage" menu by pressing button
(17) for at least 1 second.
Select the required program (or the empty memory) by
rotating the encoder.
Confirm the operation by pressing button-encoder (10).
Program retrieval
Retrieve the 1st program available by pressing button (17).
Select the required program by pressing button (17).
Select the required program by rotating the encoder.
Only the memories location occupied by a program
are retrieved, while the empty ones are automatically
skipped.
18
Wire feed
Allows the manual wire feed without gas flow and with-
out the wire live.
Allows the insertion of the wire into the torch sheath
during the welding preparation phases.
19
Gas test button
Allows the gas circuit to be cleansed of impurities and
the carrying out of the appropriate preliminary gas pres-
sure and flow adjustments, without power on.
20
Inductance
Allows electronic regulation of the series inductance of
the welding circuit.
Low inductance = reactive arc (more spatter).
High inductance = less reactive arc (less spatter).
