Anti-Stick Func -
tion
As the arc becomes shorter, the welding voltage may also fall so that the rod electrode is
more likely to stick to the workpiece. This can also cause the rod electrode to anneal.
Activating the anti-stick function will prevent this annealing. If the rod electrode starts to
stick to the workpiece, the power source switches off the welding current immediately. The
welding process can be resumed without problems once the rod electrode has been de -
tached from the workpiece.
The anti-stick function can be activated or deactivated in the Setup menu, see page 76 .
