Run-In Speed Control

Use this control to set run-in wire

feed speed before arc initiation.
After arc initiation, weld wire feed

speed is controlled by the wire

speed setting on the welding gun

(see Section 6-3).
The scale around the run-in speed

control is a percent of weld wire

feed speed.
Maximum run-in wirefeed speed is

approximately one half of weld

wirefeed speed.
Minimum run-in wirefeed speed is

approximately 40 inches per minute

(1 mpm).

.

The gun wire feed speed
control adjusts wire speed from

minimum to maximum setting

on Wire Speed Control.

Burnback Time Control

(Optional)

Use control to adjust time (up to

0.25 seconds) that the welding wire

is electrically energized after the

wire stops feeding.
If welding wire sticks in the weld

puddle, increase burnback time. If

wire burns back into the gun

contact tip, decrease burnback

time.
The scale around the control is

marked in fractions of a second.
3

Spot Time Control (Optional)

Use control to set spot weld time.

Welding wire feeds at speed

selected on the gun Wire Speed

Control. Spot time starts at arc

initiation.
Rotating switch fully

counterclockwise until it clicks

selects an untimed continuous

weld, all other positions will provide

various timed spot welds.
The scale around the control is

marked in seconds.

Time Range Switch

Use switch to select spot weld time

range.

Fuse F1

See Section 7-11.
6

Circuit Breaker CB1

See Section 7-11.
7

Motor Torque Switch

Use switch to select the force used

to push wire. The up position is for

high force, or torque. The down

position is for low force, or torque.
Use Low position for .030 wire size

and High position for all other wire

sizes.
