Welding task selection
The following steps have to be carried out to select the welding job:
• Select basic parameters (material type, wire diameter and shielding gas type) and welding procedures
(select and enter JOB number by means of JOB-List
> see 8.1 chapter
).
• Select operating and welding type
• Adjust welding power
• Correct arc length and dynamics if necessary
• Adjust expert parameters for special applications
5.2.2.1
Basic welding parameters
The user must first determine the basic parameters (material type, wire diameter and shielding gas type)
of the welding system. These basic parameters are then compared with the welding job list (JOB-LIST).
The combination of the basic parameters gives a JOB number, which must now be entered on the control
unit. This basic setting must be rechecked or adjusted only when changing the wire or gas.

The settings for spot time, pause time and wire feed speed apply to all JOBs. All other parameter
values are stored separately in each JOB. Changes are permanently saved in the currently se-
lected JOB.
If required, these parameter values can be reset to the factory settings > see 7.5 chapter.
5.2.2.2
Operating mode
The operating mode determines the process sequence controlled by the welding torch. Detailed descrip-
tions of the operating modes
> see 5.2.5 chapter
