6 CONTROL PANEL
2-stroke
With 2-stroke, gas pre-flow starts when the welding torch trigger switch is pressed. The
welding process then starts. Releasing the trigger switch stops welding entirely and
starts gas post-flow.
4-stroke
With 4 stroke, the gas pre-flow starts when the welding torch trigger switch is pressed in
and the wire feed starts when it is released. The welding process continues until the
switch is pressed in again, when the switch is released the wire feed then stops the gas
post-flow starts.
Weld mode selection button (6)
The weld mode button is used for changing the applications (3). Weld mode selection is available from
the internal control panel as well.
Indicator Description
GMAW Manual
Constant voltage control process is where the set voltage and the wire feed speed
are set independent of each other.
GMAW SYNERGIC
A process with synergic voltage and arc dynamics control, in relation to wire feed
speed using predetermined synergic line programs providing stable arc
performance. The process operates through short circuit, globular and spray droplet
transfer mode.
GMAW PULSE
The process applies a pulsed current waveform with controlled droplet transfer.
GMAW SPEED
The process provides a concentrated arc function for superior weld control and
stability in the range of high welding speeds.
SMAW
SMAW welding may also be referred to as welding with coated electrodes. Striking
the arc melts the electrode, and its coating forms protective slag.
Gouging
The gouging process refers to the large amount of gas which is generated to eject
the molten metal.
JOBs buttons (7)
The JOB buttons are used to save and activate weld setting parameters. Press the JOB button (1, 2 or
3) for two seconds to save and activate the weld setting parameters to the respective JOB position.
The respective LEDs will be lit in green once the current JOB is saved and activated. If the JOB
contains any previous weld setting parameters, it will be replaced with the new weld setting
parameters.
