Antistick
Anti-stick prevents the electrode from annealing.
If the electrode sticks in spite of the Arcforce device, the machine
automatically switches over to the minimum current within about 1
second to prevent the electrode from overheating. Check the welding
current setting and correct according to the welding task!

Advanced settings
To enable the greatest possible breadth of applications, the following parameters can be adjusted
or optimised for the welding task.
5.7.5.1
Arcforce correction (welding characteristics)
To change the advanced setting parameters, hold down the "Welding parameters" button for
2 seconds after selecting the welding process.
The following diagram shows the setting options.

Setting/selection
Arcforce correction (setting -8 to 10, factory setting 0)
• Increase value > harder arc
• Decrease value > softer arc
Example:
You are using a rutile/basic electrode type and set "
" accordingly on the machine control.
When welding the electrode type, you specify a hard or aggressive arc. You should now change the
arcforce setting in the direction of "less arcforce
– softer arc" until the required result is achieved.
