10.4.1 Run In – These are the values used after the start button has been pressed but before the

welding wire makes contact with the work piece and the arc is established.

10.4.2 Start Up – These values are used after the arc is struck for the time defined in Start Time.

See SECTION 10.3.6.

10.4.3 Welding – These values are the parameters used during the standard weld portion of the

operation. Values for the Default, Maximum and Minimum and Adjustment Step are defined.

The welding phase is the normal welding done by the machine. The operator will be able to

make changes during this phase of operation if the configuration allows. This phase ends

when the stop button is pressed once.
