Softkeys:
The current assignment of the softkeys appears at the bottom edge of the display. During the welding pro-
cess, only softkeys 1 and 2 ("STOP" and "Final slope") are active.
Ending the welding process
If the process can no longer be controlled, shut down the system by using the main switch or pull
out the power plug!
The following steps are carried out automatically at the end of the welding process:
• Current is automatically sloped off to the programmed final current.
• The arc is extinguished.
• Gas flow and liquid cooling are deactivated after the programmed time expires.
• Machine switches to ready-to-start condition.

Interrupting the welding process
Switching off the entire system
X
Switch off machine at the main switch.
– or –
X
Press the EMERGENCY-STOP button on connected remote control.
The entire machine is disconnected from the mains network immediately and completely (both poles). No other functions
are carried out here: The gas flow is interrupted immediately. The current weld becomes unusable.
Stopping a running process
X
Press softkey 1 ("STOP").
– or –
X
Press the STOP button on the connected remote control.
– or –
X
Press the red START/STOP button on the weld head.
The weld current is switched off immediately. The machine remains in operation, the gas post purge time runs and the
liquid cooling of the weld head is carried out until the end of the gas post purge time.
A slight crater can arise in the seam on the workpiece, and this can be compensated for by over-welding it.
Premature slope-off of a running process
X
Press softkey 2 ("Final slope").
– or –
X
Press the "Final" button on the weld head.
– or –
X
Press the slope-off symbol on the connected remote control.
The machine slopes off the weld current as per the procedure. The weld head continues running during the slope-off
phase. After slope-off, the weld current is switched off, the gas post purge and pump continue running until the end of
the programmed time.
