WELD MODE SETTINGS CONT
• Hot Start - Provides a temporary increase of the output
current during the start of a weld. This helps ignite the
arc quickly and reliably, preventing the electrode from
sticking. The setting can be adjusted from 0 (Off) to
+10. The higher the value the greater the output current
during arc strike.
• Arc Force - Used to prevent the electrode from sticking
during welding. It provides a temporary increase in
current when the arc length becomes very short.
Increasing the value from -10 (Soft) to +10 (Crisp)
increases the short circuit current and prevents sticking
of the electrode to the plate while welding, while
decreasing the value reduces the amount of spatter.
• Pinch - Changes the rate of current rise will change when
the electrode short circuits to the work. Increasing the
pinch from -10 to +10 may reduce spatter, while
tter and smoother weld bead.
