striking. The arc is established in the following
way:
1) The torch is placed so that the Tungsten
electrode is quite close to the welding
spot (1 or 2 mm).
2) The torch trigger is activated and de-
activated, and the high voltage generator
of the machine will produce a voltage
impulse that ignites the arc.
In order to stop the welding process the
trigger must be activated again after
which the slope-down period begins. The
arc will extinguish after the period of
slope-down time, and the trigger is
deactivated. The welding current is

extinguished if the torch trigger is released
before the slope-down period is finished.
Two-stroke LIFTIG:
This symbol means LIFTIG ignition.
The arc is established in the following way:
1) The torch is placed so that the Tungsten
electrode has contact with the welding
spot.
2) The torch trigger is activated and must be
kept pressed down.
3) The arc is established by lifting the torch,
and the welding process has started. In
order to stop the welding process, the
torch trigger is deactivated. The arc will
extinguish after the period of slope-down
time.
