If required, perform the additional functions specified for the manual arc welding process (see
Section 6.1).
ATTENTION!
In the manual arc welding process, after switching on the
welding unit by switch
(9)
, the welding electrode is under voltage. Do not
allow the electrode to contact current-conducting or grounded parts, such as
the casing of the welding unit, because such a contact will cause the start of
welding.
