Design and function MMA welding 5.2.2.1 Arcforce (welding characteristics) During the welding process, arcforce prevents the electrode sticking in the weld pool with increases in current. This makes it easier to weld large-drop melting electrode types at low current strengths with a short arc in particular.
Design and function MMA welding 5.2.4 Antistick The Antistick feature prevents the electrode from annealing. Should the electrode stick despite the Arcforce feature, the machine au- tomatically switches to the minimum current within approx. one second. This prevents the electrode from annealing. Check the welding current setting and correct for the welding task in hand.
Design and function MMA welding 5.2.5.1 Average value pulsing in the vertical-up position (PF) This pulse variant was developed for welding in the PF position. Where necessary, the user can adjust the preset welding parameters: Parameter is used for pulse current correction Parameter is used for frequency correction Parameter...

Design and function TIG welding 5.3.4 Average value pulse welding Average value pulse welding means that two currents are switched periodically, a current average value (AMP), a pulse current (Ipuls), a balance ( ) and a f requency ( ) having been defined first. The predefined ampere current average value is decisive, the pulse current (Ipuls) is defined by the para- meter as a percentage of the current average value (AMP).
