level. The user sets the function ON/OFF and sets the initial value for the Upslope power / wire
feed speed.

When you select ON, the options for adjusting Time and Level appear on the screen.
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.
