Function
Wire retract button
to retract the wire electrode with no accompanying flow of gas or current
The wire electrode can be retracted using one of two methods:
Method 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 retract
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
Method 2
Retracting the wire electrode in 1 mm increments (0.039 in. increments) – al-
ways press the wire retract button for less than one second (tap)
