• QUICKLOAD: JOB trigger recall without welding.
• MULTIJOB : JOB reminder to the trigger in welding.
• Connect-5 (C5): Automatically recall JOBs.
ELECTRODE WELDING (MMA / SMAW)
CONNECTION AND ADVICE
• Connect the cables, electrode holder and ground clamp to the connection connectors.
• Observe the welding polarities and intensities indicated on the electrode boxes.
• Remove the electrode from the electrode holder when the machine is not in use.
• The machine has 3 features exclusive to Inverters:
- The Hot Start creates an overcurrent at the beginning of the welding.
- The Arc Force creates an overcurrent which prevents the electrode from sticking to the weld pool.
- The Anti-Sticking technology makes it easier to unstick the electrode from the metal.
CHOICE OF COATED ELECTRODES
• Rutile electrode: very easy to use in all positions with DC and AC current.
• Basic Electrode: used in all DC and AC positions, it is suitable for safety work due to its increased mechanical properties.
• Cellulosic electrode: very dynamic arc with a high melting rate, its use in all positions makes it especially suitable for pipeline work.

COATED ELECTRODE WELDING (MMA/SMAW)
• MMA Standard
This MMA Standard welding mode is suitable for most applications. It can weld any type of electrode : rutile, basic, cellulosic... and on any material:
steel, stainless steel, cast iron.

Recommendations
(CC)
The electrode type determines specific parameters accor-
ding to the type of electrode used in order to optimize its
weldability.
Anti-gluing is recommended to safely remove the electrode
if it is glued to the part to be welded (the power is automa-
tically cut off).
The replacement of accessories in case of direct or reverse
polarity is carried out at the product level.

• MMA Pulse / SMAW Pulse
This MMA Pulse welding mode is suitable for applications in the vertical up position (PF). The pulse mode keeps the weld pool cold and eases the
transfer of matter. Without the pulse mode, vertical-up welding requires a difficult «Christmas tree» shape triangular movement. With the MMA Pulsed
mode, this movement is no longer required and a simple straight up movement is enough (depending on the thickness of the workpiece). If you wish
to widen your weld pool, a simple lateral movement is enough (similar to normal welding). In this case the pulse current frequency can be adjusted
on the display. This process allows greater control during vertical-up welding.

Arc Force
• MMA AC / SMAW AC
The MMA AC mode is recommended in some very specific cases when the arc is not stable or straight, which may happen around magnets (magne-
tised weldpiece, magnefic field in the vicinity).. The AC (alternative current) prevents electrical interference and keeps the stable under these circums-
tances. The pulse frequency is set to 50Hz. It is necessary to check that the electrode can be used with AC.
