WARNING
Never use defected gun.
Check gas flow with Gas Purge Switch [20] – GMAW
and FCAW-GS process.
Close the right side panel.
The welding machine is now ready to weld.
WARNING
The right side panel has to be completely closed during
welding.
WARNING
Keep the gun cable as straight as possible when welding
or loading electrode through cable.
WARNING
Do not kink or pull cable around sharp corners.
By applying the principle of occupational health and
safety at welding, welding can be begun.
Welding in Manual Mode
When the Control Knob [25] is set in "Manual" position,
welding in Manual Mode is possible.
Manual Mode enables welding:
GMAW
FACW-GS
FCAW-SS
In Manual Mode can be set:
The welding load voltage
WFS
Burnback
Run-in WFS
Preflow Time
2-Step/4-Step
The chart below can be useful for welding setting
selection:
The 2-Step - 4-Step changes the function of the gun's
trigger.
2 Step trigger operation turns welding on and off in
direct response to the trigger. Welding process is
performed when the gun's trigger is pulled.
4-Step mode allows to continue welding, when the
gun's trigger is released. To stop welding, the gun's
trigger is pulled again. 4-step mode facilitates to
making long welds.
The Burnback Time is the amount of time that the weld
output continues after the wire stops feeding. It prevents
the wire from sticking in the puddle and prepares the end
of the wire for the next arc start.
English
Run-in WFS sets the wire feed speed from the time the
trigger is pulled until an arc is established.
Preflow Time adjusts the time that shielding gas flows
after the trigger is pulled and prior to feeding.
Welding in Synergic Mode
Synergic Mode enables welding GMAW and FCAW-GS
process according to Table 2.

*Flux-cored wire for FCAW-GS process.
Welding in Synergic Mode is possible when Diameter
Wire [25] and Welded Material and Appropriate Gas [24]
are set.
If the selected welding process does not have synergic
mode, three horizontal dashes will appear on the display
"A".
In Synergic Mode can be set:
