Figure 13
The machine allow the user the use 4 stick mode:
Soft: For a welding with a low spatter presence. Hot
Start and Arc Force are pre-defined and can not be
modified
Crisp: For an aggressive welding, with an increased
Arc stability
Manual: user has full control of Arc Force and Hot start
parameters.
Pulse: user can define the frequency, duty, and
welding current.
Hot Start
This is a temporary increase in the initial welding current.
This helps ignite the arc quickly and reliably.
Figure 14
Select the “Hot Start”, push the knob button, change the
value and push again to validate.
Unit is in percentage. In this example the Initial current will
be equal the welding current with 40% of welding current
added.
Example: if welding current is 100A, the Hot Start current
will be 40%
Arc Force
This is a temporary increase in the output current during
normal stick welding. This temporary increase in output
current is used to clear intermittent connections between
the electrode and the weld puddle that occur during
normal stick welding.
Figure 15
Anti-Sticking
This feature cannot be modified by user.
This is a function that decreases the output current of the
machine to a low level when the operator makes an error
and sticks the electrode to the work piece. This decrease
in current allows the operator to remove the electrode
from the electrode holder without creating large sparks
that can damage the electrode holder.
