5.1.1.3 Wire thread
The wire inching function is used for potential- and gas-free inching of the wire electrode after the wire
spool change. By pressing and holding the wire inching button for a long time, the wire inching speed
increases in a ramp function (special parameter P1
> see 5.4.1.1 chapter
) from 1 m/min to the set
maximum value. The maximum value is set by simultaneously pressing the wire inching button and
turning the left click wheel.
The operating elements are installed under the protective cap of wire feed mechanism.

The wire return function is used to retract the wire electrode without tension and protection gas. By
simultaneously pressing and holding the wire inching and gas test buttons, the wire return speed
increases in a ramp function (special parameter P1
> see 5.4.1.1 chapter
) from 1 m/min to the set
maximum value. The maximum value is set by simultaneously pressing the wire inching button and
turning the left click wheel.
During the process, the wire spool must be turned by hand clockwise to wind up the wire electrode again.
