operation turns welding on and off in
direct response to the trigger. Welding process is performed when the gun’s
trigger is pulled. 4-Step mode allows to continue welding, when the gun’s
trigger is released. To stop welding, the gun’s trigger is pulled again.
4-step mode facilitates to making long welds.
WARNING 4-Step does not work during Spot Welding.

The Burnback Time is the amount of time that the weld output continues after
the wire stops feeding. It prevents the wire from sticking in the puddle and
prepares the end of the wire for the next arc start.
Run-in WFS sets the wire feed speed from the time the trigger is pulled until
an arc is established.
Spot Timer adjusts the time welding will continue even if the trigger is still
pulled. This option has no effect in 4-Step Trigger Mode.
WARNING Spot Timer has no effect in 4-Step Trigger Mode.
Preflow Time adjusts the time that shielding gas flows after the trigger is pulled and prior to feeding.
Postflow Time adjusts the time that shielding gas flows after the welding output turns off.
