ACTIV8™
Trigger Interlock
Trigger Interlock operation provides for operator
comfort when making long welds. When the gun
trigger is first pulled, the welding power source
energizes the output and the wire feeder feeds
wire for welding. The gun trigger is then released
while the weld is made. To stop welding, the gun
trigger is pulled again, and when it is released the
welding power source output turns off and the wire
feeder stops feeding wire.
If the arc goes out while welding with
trigger interlock operation, the elec-
trode output from the welding power
source remains energized and the wire
feeder will continue to feed wire until
the gun trigger is again pulled and
then released.

4. CV/CC SWITCH
The CV/CC switch sets the wire feed speed con-
trol method for the wire feeder.
Place the rocker switch in the UP position for CC
operation or in the DOWN position for CV opera-
tion.
In the CC position, the
wire feed speed varies
during welding. The arc
length is maintained by
changing the wire feed
speed.
In the CV position, the
wire feed speed remains
constant during welding.
A steady arc voltage is
regulated by the power source by adjusting the arc
current.
