(1). Releasing the trigger switch (2) starts the welding process. At the end of welding, the welder presses the trigger switch again (3), which starts crater filling (if in operation) and 0459 287 474 - 10 - © ESAB AB 2016...
Page 11 QSet™ function when welding with pure spray arc. All settings are inherited from QSet™, with the exception of the voltage which must be set. Recommendation: Make the first weld (6 seconds) with QSet™ on a test piece to obtain all the correct data. 0459 287 474 - 11 - © ESAB AB 2016...
Page 12 33 most frequently used synergy lines. It is also possible to order other packages of synergy lines, but these must be installed by an authorised ESAB service engineer. Inductance Higher inductance produces a more flowing weld and less spatter. Lower inductance produces a harsher sound and a stable, concentrated arc.
Page 13 The wire feed speed is the speed at which the filler wire is supplied, measured in m/min. Irrespective of which menu is displayed, the setting value for the wire feed speed can always be changed. The value is displayed in the main menu or selection menu. 0459 287 474 - 13 - © ESAB AB 2016...
