OPERATION

B-5

Trigger Interlock

Trigger Interlock operation provides for operator com-

fort when making long welds. When the gun trigger is

first pulled, the welding power source energizes the

output and the wire feeder feeds wire for welding.

The gun trigger is then released while the weld is

made. To stop welding, the gun trigger is pulled

again, and when it is released the welding power

source output turns off and the wire feeder stops

feeding wire.

• If the arc goes out while welding with

trigger interlock operation, the elec-

trode output from the welding power

source remains energized and the

wire feeder will continue to feed wire

until the gun trigger is again pulled

and then released.

6. WIRE FEED SPEED KNOB

The large, calibrated wire feed speed knob makes for

easy and accurate adjustment of the wire feed speed.

The knob rotates 3/4 turn. Turn the knob clockwise to

increase the wire feed speed, and counter clockwise

to reduce the wire feed speed.

The wire feed speed range is 50 to 800 in/min (1.27 -

20.3 m/min).
