FIG B.6 - ADVANCE OPTIONS SCREEN

1. Material Thickness

--- Select welding material thickness

2. Selected Function Name

3. Trigger 

---Select the desired mode with the toggle switch:

Normal Welding mode (2 Step) provides weld power only
while the trigger switch is depressed.

4-Step Trigger interlock mode eliminates the need to
hold the gun trigger while welding. It operates in 4 steps:

1. Close trigger and establish welding arc.

2. Release trigger and continue welding.

3. Reclose trigger near end of weld.

4. Release trigger again to stop welding.

If the arc is broken while using this feature, the machine will

reset to the "trigger off" condition automatically.
Note: 4 Step Trigger interlock mode does not function with a
Spool Gun.

4. Spot Time 

---The spot time option permits adjusting the

duration of the welding arc. This is used for tack welds or
spot welds. The spot-time option is available in GMAW and
FCAW modes.

5. Run-In

--- The run-in option permits adjusting the wire feed

speed prior to the arc being established. A lower run-in speed
permits smooth arc starts. After the arc is established the
run-in value is inactive and the set wire feed speed is
present. The run-in option is available in GMAW and FCAW
modes.

6. Burnback 

--- Setting the Burnback means setting the

adjustable time delay between turning off the wire feeding
and turning off the arc. Burnback helps to prevent wire
sticking to the puddle. The Burnback feature will allow
current to continue to flow for a specified time period at the
end of a weld after wire feeding has stopped.

7. Memory Save

--- Power MIG™ 260 is capable of storing  up

to 25 sets of welding setting. To save a desired weld setting,
select a location, preferable an empty slot (Note: The latest
saving will override any prior saved settings), push and hold
the right knob for 3 seconds. The saved welding settings can
be recalled through the Memory Recall function.
