Answering my own question: I talked to Hitachi and they said that the "current setting" is the same as the "full load amps". They reccommended that I leave the setting at the default of 8.0. They also had some specific setting recommendations for an inverter powering a milling machine:
Parameter A042 set to 00 (manual torque boost)
Parameter A044 set to 00 (constant torque)
Parameter A081 set to 01 (automatic voltage regulation)
Parameter B130 set to 01 (over-voltage LADSTOP enable)

Could the equivalent Leeson term be "P.F."? P.F. appears on the nameplate and is shown as 85.2.
