PATON StandardTIG DC MMA/TIG/MIG/MAG
How to use this function is to touch the workpiece with the electrode, while you can
hold the electrode in this position indefinitely, and when the user considers that he is ready
to start welding (e.g., he lowered the protective mask over his eyes and blew the place well
with shielding gas) then it is enough to start SLOWLY lifting the sharpened electrode tip
away from the workpiece. The unit will detect this moment and perceive it as a signal to start
the welding process, thereby starting to increase the welding current LINEARLY to the set
value. The larger the main operating current, the faster you need to raise the electrode,
otherwise, it will melt. The time of a smooth current build-up to the set value will be reviewed
in the next paragraph.
