Many times 1-10 is 10-100 percent output.

it depends on the machine you are using.

I dug out my manual. Set the range. Setting the right knob is 10-100% of the range you've chosen. The middle range for stick work is 80 amps wide. 8 being 80%, 80% of 80 amps is 64 amps. Add 64 to the low end of the range of 60. Amperage would be 124, a good heat for a 1/8" 7018 electrode. Mine stays close to there most of the time.

if on the mid range, you were 60+30. The low end of the range and .375 times the 80 amps in the range. Still a cold weld.
