Operating Instruction
Stick (SMAW) Welding
To select Stick welding:
Action
Press MODE several times until the LED above lights up
When the Stick position is selected, the
following welding features are enabled:
Hot Start: This is a temporary increase in the output
current during the start of the stick welding process.
This helps ignite the arc quickly and reliably.
Anti-Sticking: This is a function which decreases the
output current of the machine to a low level when the
operator makes an error and sticks the electrode to
the work piece. This decrease in current allows the
operator to remove the electrode from the electrode
holder without creating large sparks which can
damage the electrode holder.
Auto Adaptive Arc Force: this function increases
temporary the output current, used to clear
intermittent connections between the electrode and
the weld puddle that occur during stick welding.
This is an active control feature that guarantees the
best arrangement between the arc stability and
spatter presence. The feature "Auto Adaptive Arc
Force" has instead of a fixed or manual regulation,
an automatic and multilevel setting: its intensity
depends by the output voltage and it is calculated
in real time by the microprocessor where are also

mapped the Arc Force levels. The control measure
in each instant the output voltage and it determines
the amount of the peak of current to apply; that
value is enough to breaks the metal drop that is
being transferred from the electrode to the
workpiece as to guarantee the arc stability, but not
too high to avoid spatters around the welding
puddle. That means:
Electrode / workpiece sticking prevention,
also with low current values.
Spatters reduction.
The welding operations are simplified and the
welded joins looks better, also if not brushed
after the welding.
In Stick mode, two different setup are available:
SOFT Stick: For a welding with a low spatter
presence.
CRISP Stick (Factory Default): For an aggressive
welding, with an increased Arc stability.
To switch between Soft and Crisp:
Action
At idle, before welding
Press SEL
Press SEL
Wait 4s or start welding to
