Non-latched mode

Figure 5-5

Step 1
•  Press and hold torch trigger.
•  Shielding gas is expelled (gas pre-flows).
•  Wire feed motor runs at “creep speed”.
• Arc

ignites

after the wire electrode makes contact with the workpiece; welding current flows.

• Change over to pre-selected wire speed (main program P

A

).

Step 2
•  Release torch trigger.
•  WF motor stops.
•  Arc is extinguished after the preselected wire burn-back time expires.
•  Gas post-flow time elapses.
