3.3.8 MIG extra functions
Crater filling, 1-MIG and pulse MIG:
Crater filling reduces welding mistakes caused by end craters. By pressing the 4T-trigger
continuously at the end of weld, a descending welding power is achieved which fills end
craters in a controlled manner. The descending time is kept constant using the 2T function,
and the welding power and end level can be changed using the SETUP-function.

The Hot Start:
The Hot Start function is used with 1-MIG and pulse MIG welding. The Hot Start time by 4T
Hot Start time is determined by trigger function (see picture) and while by 2T function it
is determined by the SETUP parameters. The level of Hot Start can be changed by SETUP
function.
The Hot Start level, Hot Start time by 2T, crater fill level and downslope time can be easily
adjusted using the ‘QUICK SETUP’ function:

3.3.9 Use of gas test
If you press the gas test button, gas will begin to flow without any starting power source or
wire feed. Gas flow can be measured by using an external measuring device.
Cut off the gas flow by pressing the same button again, or the gun trigger. If the trigger is not
pressed again, the gas flow will end within 20 seconds.
The display will show “GAS” and the time.
3.3.10 Testing wire feed
The wire feed switch will start the wire feed motor without opening the gas valve. The power
source will start up, but without providing welding power. The wire feed range will be 5m/min
but can be adjusted as desired.
