When the "TIG Comfort-Stop" function is
selected in the Set-up Menu, crater-filling
is possible by means of a downslope.
The downslope is initiated by a defined
motion of the welding torch. The
downslope causes a ramp decrease of the
welding current to the minimum welding
current
current is then kept constant for 0.2
seconds before the arc extinguishes.
The defined motion of the welding torch
comprises the following functional
sequence: The "TIG Comfort-Stop"
function is activated by lifting the torch,
causing the arc to become visibly longer.

Lowering the torch then triggers the
downslope.

torch motions, and the welding current
