0.9 mm Use of a wire in small diameter may cause unstable wire feeding. In case of using such wires, please feed the wire at low speed or contact Panasonic representatives. Press the “INCHING” (8) button on the operation panel to feed the wire manually.
Operation 9 Operation Depending on the CHANGE button settings and the use of “Crater repeat”, torch operation varies as follows. Note: After turning on the torch switch, if the voltage detect is not executed, the welder goes in an error state (Err6: Arc start error) and turns off the output automatically.
Operation 9.3“INI. &CRATER” Operation: Turn the torch switch on and off twice. (Turn the torch switch ON to start initial welding and turn it OFF to switch to main welding. Then turn it ON again to start crater operation.)
Operation 9.4“Crater repeat” operation To repeat crater operation turn ON the torch switch within a preset time (Trep)* after turning off the previous crater operation. (In this manner, it is possible to repeat the cra- ter operation again and again.) *: Trep: About 2 seconds Note: If the torch switch is not turned on within the preset time, the function is cancelled.
Operation 9.5“ARC SPOT” Press (turn on) and hold down the torch switch until the welding arc is turned off automatically. Note: If the torch switch is released while generating the welding arc (before Tspt ends), the welding arc is turned off immediately.
