20.  MMA settings 

 

Arc force %: Set this to how much arc force % you require 1-100% 

 

Hot start time: Set this to how much hot start time you require 0.1 - 1.5 Seconds 

Hot start amps: Set this to how many hot start amps you require 1 - 100 Amps 

21.  Selector knob 

 

When turned this will adjust main amperage as shown in display, it will also change 

parameters when LED has been selected by using select function buttons. Once you have 

adjusted parameter press knob in to save.
