What happens here

Press the 'Mode' button to cycle through the different welding processes: MIG, MMA (Stick welding), TIG, Spool, and back to MIG. Ensure the machine is set to MIG welding mode. Then, select the MIG operation mode using the dedicated button on the panel. Options include Pulse, 2T (two-touch), and 4T (four-touch). 2T requires holding the trigger for the duration of the weld, while 4T starts welding with a brief trigger pull and stops with another, allowing for longer welds without continuous trigger engagement.
