OPERATION CONTROL AND CONNECTORS
§4.4 Hot start adjustment
The number ”0~10” on the potentiometer is not actual arc force, but a proportion concept.
More welding current pre-set value, more hot start
current addition. Clockwise turning the hot start knob, the
hot start added current lasts long time, the striking is more
easy.
There are no actual added current value around the knob.
Hot start adjustment is chosen to be based on the electrode
diameter and workpiece thickness.
Operation remark
:
It is available in the striking arc only.
The interval time for hot start is 3 sec.
§4.5 Welding operation
§4.5.1 Striking arc way
Knocking arc: take the electrode upright to touch the workpiece, after forming short
circuit, quickly lift up about 2~4 mm, and arc will be ignited. This method is difficult to
master. But in the welding for the brittle or hard steel, it is better to use knocking way.

Lifting arc: take the electrode to scrape the workpiece for striking arc. But it may cause the
arc scratch, so must to lift arc in the groove.
