SAFETY PRECAUTIONS These safety precautions are for protection of safety and health. Failure to follow these guidelines may result in serious injury or death. Be careful to read and follow all cautions and warnings. Protect yourself and others. Welding and cutting processes produce high levels of ultraviolet (UV) radiation that can cause severe skin burn and damage.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WARNING! Persons with pacemakers should not weld, cut or be in the welding area until they consult with their physician. Some pacemakers are sensitive to EMF radiation and could severely malfunction while welding or while being in the vicinity of someone welding.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS continued WARNING! Electrical shock can kill. Make sure all electrical equipment is properly grounded. Do not use frayed, cut or otherwise damaged cables and leads. Do not stand, lean or rest on ground clamp. Do not stand in water or damp areas while weld- ing or cutting.

(10-15 minutes). Cycle the power switch to reset the machine only after the machine has had time to cool. The duty cycle and overcurrent warning lights should go off after cycling the power switch on the machine. If it does not, and will not weld, contact Everlast. 3. Amp Control Controls amperage output.
You may then either create an 240V to 120V pigtail adapter for 120V operation, or purchase one directly from Everlast for use on 120V. For use with 120V input only, remember output will be reduced. Be sure to maintain polarity when wiring for 120V use, with white as the neutral, and green as the ground.

5% is preferred. Operating the unit on square wave output or modified sine wave generator is strictly prohibited. Contact the manufacturer of the genera- tor for this information. Everlast does not have an “approved” list of generators. But, if the generator is not listed as clean power by its manufacturer, then operation is prohibited.
Section 3 Basic theory and function TUNGSTEN PREPARATION 1. Use a dedicated grinding wheel or contamination may re- sult. Do not breath grinding dust! Wear eye protection and gloves. 2. Hold Tungsten firmly. 3. Grind perpendicular to grind- ing wheel face. Allow tungsten to grind away slowly, creating point.
Section 3 Basic theory and function HIGH FREQUENCY START TIG OPERATION <1/8 <1/8” 1. Position the point of the sharpened tungsten about 1/8” or less above the metal. 2. Press the torch trigger or press the foot pedal to initiate the arc. The HF arc will be initiated. It may appear briefly as a blue spark. 3.
Section 3 Basic theory and function STICK OPERATION STARTING METHODS Tapping Method Scratch/Match Method 1. Turn on the power switch on the rear of the unit. Allow unit to cycle through its start up program. 2. Select the Stick mode with the HF/Lift Start/Stick selector switch. 3.
Section 3 Basic theory and function Helpful Hint: If difficulty is observed in starting the arc, it may be time to readjust the point gap setting found inside. The HF points tend to wear and get dirty over time. This is a normal maintenance item and not something for warranty consideration. Proper point gap adjustment is .035 “to .045”.

Check gas flow. Adjust for higher flow of gas. Listen for audible click of gas solenoid. If no click is heard, then contact Everlast Support. Clean weld properly, especially in Aluminum. Too short of post flow. Check tungsten stick out.
Make sure swirl ring is not cracked. Arc will try to start if touched to the metal, but no air Stuck or dirty solenoid valve. Contact Everlast. Wrong Pro- flow while switch is pressed. cess selected.
