3 WELDING MODES (EASY)
• Welding (continuous)
• Spot
This welding mode allows the pre-assembly of parts before welding. The spot weld is done manually with the trigger.
• Chain
This function allows the assembly of very thin sheet metal while limiting the risk of piercing and deformation of the material. Chain-stitch welding is
done manually with the trigger.
SPOT MODE (EXPERT)
• Spot
This welding mode allows the pre-assembly of parts before welding. Spot welding can be done manually using the trigger or timed with a predefined
spot welding period. Spot welding allows for better reproduction and non-oxidised weld points.
• Spot-Delay
This is a welding mode similar to Spot welding but with predefined weld and dwell times, as long as the trigger is held down. This function allows
welding very thin steel or aluminium metal sheet, limiting the risk of piercing and distortion (especially for aluminium welding).

Translation of the original
instructions
-
Feature to help prevent the wire sticking to the bead. This is timed to coincide with the wire rising from the weld
pool.
This idling current is the next phase after the current is lowered.
Time between the end of a point (excluding Post-Gas) and the start of a new point (including Pre-Gas).
The pre-installed user settings (syngergies) allow for a fully-automatic set-up. Changing the thickness setting
automatically sets the appropriate wire tension and speed.
The Hot Start is an overcurrent used at the start that prevents the wire from sticking to the workpiece.
The welding current is adjusted according to the type of wire used and the material to be welded.
Adjustment of the ignition current.
Used to adjust the distance between the end of the wire and the weld pool (tension adjustment).
When the torch is bled and the gas shield is created before ignition.
Set duration.
Duration of the gas protection after the arc is extinguished. It protects the workpiece and the electrode from
oxidation.
Lessens the welding current more or less. To be set according to the welding position.
Control over the cord's width.
Progressive yarn speed. Before priming, the wire moves slowly to create the first contact without jolting.
Amount of filler metal deposited and consequently the welding intensity and penetration.
Choice of trigger welding management mode
Selecting the spot mode
Choosing the main setting to be displayed (thickness of the workpiece,
average welding current or wire speed).
