When using a CV-300 power source with wire feed-
ers, there will be a small spark if the electrode con-
tacts the work or ground within several seconds
after releasing the trigger.
When use with some wire feeders with the electri-
cal trigger interlock in the ON position, the arc
might restart if the electrode touches the work or
ground during these several seconds.
