Non-latched mode

Figure 5-18

Step 1

•  Press and hold torch trigger.
•  Shielding gas is expelled (gas pre-flows).
•  Wire feed motor runs at “creep speed”.
•  Arc ignites after

the wire electrode makes contact with the workpiece; welding current flows.

• Change over to pre-selected wire speed.

Step 2

•  Release torch trigger.
•  WF motor stops.
•  Arc is extinguished after the preselected wire burn-back time expires.
•  Gas post-flow time elapses.
