P6 Push Button
Press P6 until gas LED illuminates. D1 and D2 will show gas name momentarily and
then it will return to the main display. If it is allowed, change gas type during this time.
.D1 and D2 will show NO PROG or a
selection will not be allowed when there is no program for the process, material, wire diameter, and shielding gas combination.
L13 (Ar 100%) selection is for 100% Argon
(generally used with aluminum and light al- loys).
L14 (ArCO2[1])selection is for mixed gas with Argon and CO2 around 20% (general- ly used with carbon steel).
L15 (ArCO2[2]) selection is for mixed gas with Argon and CO2 around 2% (generally used with stainless steel).
L16 (Special) selection is for other gas type not provided by standard selection.

.Always check and set a trigger mode.
If trigger mode is undefined for a weld- ing process, select the desired mode.

Trigger mode can be set for TIG only.
Trigger mode also allows enabling and dis- abling STICK welding.
In TIG welding, pressing P6 will change the trigger mode, but D1 and D2 will not change values.
In STICK welding, pressing P6 will enable welding (L20 ON, D1 shows open circuit
voltage or weld voltage and D2 shows set current or welding current) or disable weld- ing (L20 OFF, D1 shows STK and D2 shows set current).
Press P7 to select the desired trigger mode:
L17 ON selects 2 times trigger function. When trigger is pressed, welding starts. When trigger is released, welding stops. L18 ON selects 4 times trigger function. When trigger is pressed, welding starts.
When trigger is released, welding contin- ues.
When trigger is pressed and released a second time, welding stops.
L19 ON selects 3 levels trigger function.
When trigger is pressed, welding starts with level 1 parameters.
When trigger is released, welding contin- ues with main parameters.
When trigger is pressed a second time, welding continues at level 2 parameters.
When trigger is released the second time, welding stops.
.L19 trigger mode is useful for thin ma- terials and for a crater fill sequence.
L20 ON means weld output power is pres- ent at weld connectors. This LED must be on for the STICK process to enable weld- ing. LED will turn on when weld output pow- er is present at weld connectors for MIG and TIG processes.
