MADE IN FRANCE
Post-gas setting (3 to 20 sec)
Time needed to shift from welding current to minimum current. Avoids cracks and craters at the end of wel-
ding.
Post-gas setting (3 to 20 sec)
This parameter determines the length of time in which gas is released after the arc has stopped. It pro-
tects the weld pool and the electrode against oxidization whilst the metal is cooling after welding.
Advice : Increase the time if the welding appears dark.
(For default setting : 25A=4sec. – 50A=8sec. – 75A=9sec. – 100A=10sec. – 125A=11sec. – 150A=13sec. - 200A=15sec).
Nb. : You can check your settings at any time by pressing the parameter button, without turning the
wheel.

To optimise the welding process, it is recommended to grind the electrode prior to welding as described in the diagram
below :
L = 3 x d for a low current
L = d for a high current.
