Features
Auto-Line™ -
Allows for any input voltage hookup (120 - 240 V) with no manual linking, providing convenience in any job setting. Ideal solution for dirty or unreliable power.
Digital meter
for more precise control when presetting or monitoring welding amperage.
Portable in the shop or at the job site
- at 13.2 lb the shoulder strap allows the end user to easily move from location to location.
Fan-On-Demand™ -
power source cooling system operates only when needed, reducing noise, energy use and the amount of contaminants pulled through the machine.
Thermal overload protection -
helps prevent machine damage if the duty cycle is exceeded or airflow is blocked.
Single amperage range -
allows operator to accurately set amperage on both 120 or 240 volt primary power.
Hot Start™ adaptive control -
provides positive arc starts without sticking.
Low OCV stick
is a simple design that reduces the open circuit voltage to 12 - 16 volts when the welding power source is not in use. This circuit design is now built into the Maxstar 161 S eliminating the need for add-on voltage reducers.
Power factor corrected (PFC) -
for optimum performance especially on 120 volts - reduces nuisance breaker tripping.
Stick-Stuck
detects if the electrode is stuck to the part and turns the welding output off to safely and easily remove the electrode. Menu selectable.
Superior stick arc performance
even on the difficult-to-run electrodes like E6010.
Comes complete with
Maxstar 161 S stick welder
6.5 ft. (2 m) 120-volt and 240-volt power cords
