DEFINITIONS OF WELDING MODES
NON-SYNERGIC WELDING MODES
• A Non-synergic welding mode requires all welding
process variables to be set by the operator.
SYNERGIC WELDING MODES
• A Synergic welding mode offers the simplicity of sin-
gle knob control. The machine will select the correct
voltage and amperage based on the wire feed speed
(WFS) set by the operator.
