5.3.5 Antistick
The Antistick feature prevents the electrode from annealing.
Should the electrode stick despite the Arcforce feature, the machine au-
tomatically switches to the minimum current within approx. one second.
This prevents the electrode from annealing. Check the welding current
setting and correct for the welding task in hand.
