Up-slope and down-slope times possible for long spot time setting range (0.01–20.0 s) only.
Press and release torch trigger (tap) to activate the welding process.
Touch the torch gas nozzle and tungsten electrode tip carefully against the workpiece.
Incline the welding torch over the torch gas nozzle until there is a gap of approx. 2–3 mm between the
electrode tip and the workpiece. Shielding gas flows during the set gas pre-flow time

Press and release the torch trigger (tap) to reactivate the welding process (only for separate
process activation). Touching the welding torch with the tungsten electrode tip against the
workpiece again will initiate the next welding processes.

TIG activArc welding
The EWM activArc process, thanks to the highly dynamic controller system, ensures that the power
supplied is kept virtually constant in the event of changes in the distance between the welding torch and
the weld pool, e.g. during manual welding. Voltage losses as a result of a shortening of the distance
between the torch and molten pool are compensated by a current rise (ampere per volt - A/V), and vice
versa. This helps prevents the tungsten electrode sticking in the molten pool and the tungsten inclusions
are reduced.

TIG antistick
The function prevents uncontrolled re-ignition following the sticking of the tungsten electrode in the weld
pool by switching off the welding current. In addition, wear at the tungsten electrode is reduced.
After triggering the function the machine immediately switches to the gas post-flow process phase. The
welder starts the new process again at the first cycle. The user can switch the function on or off
