WELD Mode Selector Switch

The Weld Mode Selector switch selects the method of welding mode.

2T (Continuous Welding):

This mode of welding is used to weld two or more components together with a continuous weld. When the MIG

gun trigger switch is depressed welding commences. When the MIG gun trigger switch is released welding

ceases.
