4.2 TIG-LIFT ARC IGNITION FUNCTION

Warning!!! It requires cleaning the piece at the arc ignition point.
This button function on the torch is the default in this model and is designed for
torches with contact arc ignition, without the use of oscillators or similar devices, but unlike
the classic method, it completely eliminates the shock current at the moment of ignition.
