Features
Inverter-based, DC power source has a SIMPLE-TO-USE OPERATOR INTERFACE providing ony the necessary controls in a compact machine.
PROCESS SELECTOR KNOB automatically sets the PROPER DIG setting on E6010 & E7018 and adjusts amperage.
Superior Stick arc performance even on difficult-to-run electrodes like E6010.
DURABLE & PORTABLE, 40 LB aluminum case is easy to install with 208/230 V or combination 400/460 V input.
Adaptive HOT START™ for Stick arc starts automatically increases the output amperage at the start of a weld should the start require it. Prevents the electrode from sticking and creating an inclusion.
Lift-Arc™ start provides TIG arc starting without the use of high frequency.
Remote amperage control provided through 14-pin receptacle on front of machine. This permits use of standard amperage control devices.
Fan-On-Demand™ - Internal power source cooling system that only works when needed, keeping internal components cleaner.
Comes Complete With:
9 ft power cable included.
Dinse style machines include male connectors.
Note: Tweco-style machines do not include the male connectors.
