Hot start
S
When you use the Hot start function, welding starts with parameter values that are different from the
values used for the rest of the welding job. The Hot start function values are automatically set to the normal
welding values after a predefined period of time. The functionality can be used, for example, when welding
thick materials, where using extra power (heat) at the start helps ensure the high quality of the weld.
When the 2T trigger logic is in use, Hot start lasts for the predefined period of time.
