Hi all I'm new to the forum. Just picked up a kemppi master Tig 1500. There is a dial on the back that I can't find anywhere online or in the manual I have downloaded I have put a pic on here does anyone know what it is for. Thanks for any help.

If you are referring to the 1-10 dial below the + and - connections, that's the DIG (arc force) setting for STICK welding. That potentiometer allows you to address the arc behavior while welding in different positions, helping with subtle changes in the amount of amps available at the electrode if you stick your rod, weld out of position, etc. You can Google "Stick Arc Force" or "Stick DIG Settings" to get a better explanation.
