Design and function MMA welding 5.2.3 Arcforce (welding characteristics) During the welding process, arcforce prevents the electrode sticking in the weld pool with increases in current. This makes it easier to weld large-drop melting electrode types at low current strengths with a short arc in particular.
Design and function MMA welding 5.2.5 Antistick The Antistick feature prevents the electrode from annealing. Should the electrode stick despite the Arcforce feature, the machine automatically switches to the minimum current within approx. one se- cond. This prevents the electrode from annealing. Check the welding current setting and correct for the welding task in hand.
