Press torch trigger 2 or
•
Tap torch trigger 1 (torch modes 1–6).
If torch trigger 2 is pressed together with torch trigger 1 during the main current phase, the welding
current decreases to the secondary current
Once torch trigger 2 is released, the welding current increases again to the main current AMP in the set
slope time . The parameters

Set gas post-flow time
When the foot-operated remote control is connected, the machine switches automatically to non-latched
operation. The up- and down-slopes are switched off.
Alternative welding start (tapping start):
For the alternative welding start, the durations of the first and second cycle are defined by the set process
times only (tapping the torch trigger in the gas pre-low phase
To activate this function, set a two-digit torch mode (11-1x) at the machine control. This function can also
be deactivated completely when required (welding stop by tapping remains active). To do so, the
parameter must be switched to
