Page 23: Notes On The Installation Of Welding Current Leads
Design and function Notes on the installation of welding current leads Notes on the installation of welding current leads Incorrectly installed welding current leads can cause faults in the arc (flickering). Lay the workpiece lead and hose package of power sources without HF igniter (MIG/MAG) for as long and as close as possible in parallel.
Page 24 Design and function Notes on the installation of welding current leads Use an individual welding lead to the workpiece for each welding machine! Figure 5-4 Fully unroll welding current leads, torch hose packages and intermediate hose packages. Avoid loops! Always keep leads as short as possible! Lay any excess cable lengths in meanders.

Page 26: Selecting Mma Welding
Design and function MMA welding 5.7.2 Selecting MMA welding Operating Action Result element Select MMA welding process signal light lights up in green Set welding current 5.7.2.1 Arcforce (welding characteristics) During the welding process, arcforce prevents the electrode sticking in the weld pool with increases in current.
Page 27: Hotstart Current And Hotstart Time
Design and function MMA welding 5.7.3 Hotstart current and Hotstart time The hotstart device uses an increased ignition current to improve arc ignition. The parameters for the hotstart current and time can be adjusted individually. When the stick electrode has been struck, the arc ignites at the adjusted hotstart current AMP% (factory setting: 120 % of main current) and welds at this current until the hotstart time in seconds has elapsed (factory setting: 1 second).
Page 28: Antistick
Design and function MMA welding 5.7.4 Antistick Anti-stick prevents the electrode from annealing. If the electrode sticks in spite of the Arcforce device, the machine automatically switches over to the minimum current within about 1 second to prevent the electrode from overheating. Check the welding current setting and correct according to the welding task! Figure 5-9 5.7.5...
