Polarity depends on the instructions from the electrode manufacturer given on the electrode
packaging.
• Insert cable plug of the electrode holder into either the "+" or "-" welding current connection socket and
lock by turning to the right.
• Insert cable plug of the workpiece lead into either the "+" or "-" welding current connection socket and

5.10.3 Hotstart
The hot start function improves the arc striking.
After striking the stick electrode, the arc ignites at the increased hot start current and decreases to the set
main current once the hot start time has elapsed.
A = Hot start current
B = Hot start time
C = Main current
