Function
Gas-test button
for setting the required gas flow rate on the pressure regulator
- Gas will flow out for 30 seconds after the gas-test button is pressed. Press
the button again to stop the gas test flow before the end of this period.
Wire retract button
for retracting the wire electrode with no accompanying flow of gas or current
- While the button is being pressed, the wirefeeder runs at the preset wire re-
tract speed
The wire electrode can be retracted using one of two methods:
Variant 1
Retracting the wire electrode using the preset wire retract speed:
- Press and hold the wire retract button
- The wire electrode will be retracted 1 mm (0.039 in.) after the wire re-
tract button is pressed
- After a short pause, the wirefeeder continues to retract the wire elec-
trode. If the wire retract button remains pressed, the speed will increase
every second at a rate of 10 m/min (393.70 ipm) until the preset wire re-
tract speed is reached
Variant 2
Retracting the wire electrode in 1 mm increments (0.039 in. increments) – always
press the wire retract button for less than one second (tap)
NOTE! Do not allow long lengths of wire electrode to be retracted, as the wire
electrode is not wound onto the wirespool when retracted.
