SMAW (STICK) WELDING

SMAW is most often used for outdoor construction, pipe welding
and general repairs. The wire feeder controls Amperage, Output
Control and Arc Force during SMAW welding.
During SMAW welding the wire drive remains idle.

DESCRIPTION
Arc Force adjusts the short cir-
cuit current for a soft arc, or for
a forceful, driving arc. It helps
to prevent sticking and shorting
of organic coated electrodes, par-
ticularity globular transfer types
such as stainless and low
hydrogen. Arc Force is espe-
cially effective for root pass on
pipe with stainless electrode
and helps to minimize spatter
for certain electrodes and pro-
cedure as with low hydrogen,
etc.
NOTE: When a remote control pot such as a K936-1 or -2 Hand
Amptrol is connected, and P.17 is setup for Stick/Gouge
Remote, the pot value will be shown on the left display, but can
only be adjusted to the max workpoint. The max workpoint is
set by adjusting the left knob. When the left knob is adjusted,
the left display will show the max workpoint setting, and will
switch back to show the pot setting when the knob is done
being adjusted.
