Hot Start

This parameter operates in STICK mode 

to improve the start characteristics for 

stick electrodes
HOT START current is on top of the 

BASE current.
e.g. HOT START current = 130 amps 

when BASE (WELD) = 100 amps & 

HOT START = 30 amps
Range is 0 to 70A. Factory default is 

20A. Note that maximum weld current 

is 300A.
