Description
The CIGWELD Foot Control is a foot operated switch and potentiometer which starts and stops the welding
process and controls welding current through operation of the foot pedal. Refer to list below for compatible
Cigweld power sources.
Installation
Attach the 8-pin connector on the end of the cable to the 8-pin receptacle on the front of the welding machine.
To complete the connection, align the keyway, insert the plug, and rotate the threaded collar fully clockwise.
Foot Control Operation
Press the foot pedal to start the machine output functions. The foot control potentiometer controls the welding
current up to the level set on the welding power source. Note that the maximum current must be set on the
power source by the operator
prior
to the foot control being connected. With the foot control connected, the
power source will only display minimum preview Amps until the foot control is depressed then it displays
actual welding current when welding. Pressing the pedal to increases the welding current; letting up on the
pedal decreases the welding current. Releasing the pedal completely extinguishes the arc and initiates the
post-flow shielding gas timer (where fitted).
