5.2.4 Arcforce
During the welding process, arcforce prevents the electrode sticking in the weld pool with increases in
current. This makes it easier to weld large-drop melting electrode types at low current strengths with a
short arc in particular.

5.2.5 Antistick
The Antistick feature prevents the electrode from annealing.
Should the electrode stick despite the Arcforce feature, the machine au-
tomatically switches to the minimum current within approx. one second.
This prevents the electrode from annealing. Check the welding current
setting and correct for the welding task in hand.

5.2.5.1 Welding current polarity reversal (polarity reversal)
This function can be used to reverse the welding current polarity electronically.
For example, when welding with different electrode types for which different polarities are stipulated by
the manufacturer, the welding current polarity can be switched easily on the control.
