Antistick
Anti-stick prevents the electrode from annealing.
If the electrode sticks in spite of the Arcforce device, the
machine automatically switches over to the minimum
current within about 1 second to prevent the electrode
from overheating. Check the welding current setting
and correct according to the welding task!

Advanced settings
NOTE
To enable the greatest possible breadth of applications, the following parameters can
be adjusted or optimised for the welding task.
5.6.5.1
Arcforce correction (welding characteristics)
NOTE
To change the advanced setting parameters, hold down the "Welding parameters" button
for 2 seconds after selecting the welding process.
The following diagram shows the setting options.
Figure 5-8
Display Setting/selection
Arcforce correction (setting -8 to 10, factory setting 0)
• Increase value > harder arc
• Decrease value > softer arc
Example:
You are using a rutile/basic electrode type and set "
" accordingly on the machine control.
When welding the electrode type, you specify a hard or aggressive arc. You should now change the
arcforce setting in the direction of "less arcforce – softer arc" until the required result is achieved.
