Hot start
Hot start increases the weld current for an adjustable time at the start of welding, thus
reducing the risk of poor fusion at the beginning of the joint.
Arc force
The arc force is important in determining how the current changes in response to a
change in the arc length. A lower value gives a calmer arc with less spatter.
Current
A higher current produces a wider weld pool, with better penetration into the workpiece.
Irrespective of which menu is displayed, the setting value for the current can be
changed. T he value is only displayed in the main menu.
