DESCRIPTION
Arc Force adjusts the short cir-
cuit current for a soft arc, or for
a forceful, driving arc. It helps
to prevent sticking and shorting
of organic coated electrodes,
par-
ticularity globular transfer types
such as stainless and low
hydrogen. Arc Force is espe-
cially effective for root pass on
pipe with stai nless elec trode
and helps to minimize spatter
for certain electrodes and pro-
cedure as with low hydrogen,
etc.
No arc ending options are active for
SMAW (Stick)welding modes.
