In standard MIG/MAG welding, changes in stick-out length cause welding current to fluctuate. WisePenetration+ main-
tains constant welding current by controlling the wire feed speed according to the stick-out length. This ensures stable
and effective penetration and prevents burn through. WisePenetration+ also adjusts the voltage adaptively, which keeps
the arc focused and optimally short. WisePenetration+ enables welding with Reduced Gap Technolology (RGT) and is
compatible with 1-MIG and Pulse welding processes.
To take WisePenetration+ into use, select Settings > Wise features > WisePenetration+.
To adjust the welding current, in the Control Pad's Welding view, turn the left knob.
To fine tune heat output, in the Control Pad's Welding view, turn the right knob.

MMA welding
To use X8 MIG Welder in MMA mode, in Control Pad:
1.
Select Settings > Mode > MMA.
2.
Select the MMA welding program. An all-around MMA welding program pre-installed.
X8 MIG Welder features a voltage reduction device (VRD). When the welding machine is on but the welding arc is not
ignited, the welding machine is on open circuit voltage (50 V). If the VRD is in use, it keeps the open circuit voltage on
a lower, pre-set level (20 V/12 V).
For MMA welding, both DC+ and DC- mode are available.
To adjust the welding current while welding, in the Control Pad's Welding view, turn the left knob.
To adjust the dynamics while welding, in the Control Pad's Welding view, turn the right knob.
