Easy voltage changeover between voltage ranges through a two-position manual switch. Conveniently located on the rear panel, it simplifies voltage change in racks.

Simple to operate with a process selector knob which automatically sets the proper dig setting on E6010 and E7018 electrodes providing superior stick performance.

Lift-Arc™ start provides arc starting without the use of high frequency.

Fan-On-Demand™ cooling system operates only when needed providing power efficiency and noise reduction.

Stand-alone or rack-mounted for construction sites. Optional 4-pack racks, commonly used in construction and shipyards, are available for multiple operator applications . All controls including the power switch are located on front of the machine for easy access.

Remote amperage control provided through 14-pin receptacle on front of the machine. This permits use of standard amperage control devices.

Tweco- or Dinse-style connectors available. The Dinse-style includes one set of male connectors: the Tweco-style does not.

Adaptive Hot Start™ for Stick
Automatically increases output amperage at the start of a weld should the start require it and prevents the electrode from sticking and creating an inclusion.
