Description
Welding function that starts the shielding
gas flow before the arc ignites. This ensures
that the metal does not come into con-
tact with air at the start of the weld. Time
value is preset by the user. Used for all
metals, but especially for stainless steel, alu-
minum and titanium.
Welding function that continues the shield-
ing gas flow after the arc has extinguished.
This ensures that the hot weld does not
come into contact with air after the arc is
extinguished, protecting the weld and also
the electrode. Used for all metals. Especially
stainless steel and titanium require longer
post gas times.
The Creep start function defines the wire
feed speed before the welding arc ignites,
that is, before the filler wire comes in con-
tact with the workpiece. When the arc
ignites, the wire feed speed is automatically
switched to the normal user-set speed. The
Creep start function is always on.
Touch Sense Ignition delivers minimum
spatter and stabilizes the arc immediately
after ignition.
