in. The current function for these keys can be seen from the text in the bottom row of
the display. When the function is active, this is indicated by the field with the text box
turning white.
Wire feed upwards
Key for reversing the wire without arc voltage, when replacing wire bobbin for
example. The wire is fed as long as the button is depressed.
Wire feed downwards
Key for feeding wire without arc voltage. The wire is fed as long as the button is
depressed.
Travel motion
Key for travel motion in the direction of welding where the symbol is indicated on the
weld equipment. To stop travel motion press , or .
