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.
