NON-SYNERGIC WELDING MODES

A Non-synergicwelding mode requires all welding process variables to be set by the operator.

SYNERGIC WELDING MODES

A Synergic welding mode offers the simplicity of single knob control. The machine will select the cor- rect voltage and amperage based on the wire feed speed (WFS) set by the operator.
