3.4. SELECTING THE WELDING PROCEDURE (2T/4T)

2T: MIG welding with double action of the start switch of the gun:

1. Switch closed - welding starts.

2. Switch open - welding ends.

4T: MIG welding with quadruple action of the start switch of the gun:

1. Switch closed - flow of shielding gas starts.

2. Switch open - welding starts.

3. Switch closed - welding ends.

4. Switch open - flow of shielding gas ends.

3.5. ADJUSTING WELDING DYNAMICS

The adjustment of MIG welding dynamics influences the properties

of the welding arc and the amount of splatter. The recommended

basic setting is ‘0’. The values -> min (-1...-9) provide a softer arc for

diminishing the amount of spatter. The values -> max (1...9) provide a

coarser arc, suitable when increased arc stability is desired and when

using 100% CO² shielding gas for welding steel.

3.6. THERMOSTAT

The temperature control of the machine prevents the power source from

over-heating.This means that the machine can not become damaged if loading

exceeds the specified load factor during welding. When the signal lamp

indicating overheating is lit, the welding circuit can not be activated. The

lamp will turn off after a pause of about three minutes, and welding can be

started again in the usual way by pressing gun switch.

3.7. WIRE FEED SWITCH

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.
