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 170A.
