Component Note

 

1

 

Process Selector

 

Use the left and right arrow keys (          ) to select the desired welding or cutting process.

 

2

 

Display

 

This color LCD display provides all the information relative to setting the machine and indicating set parameters.

 

3

 

Left Adjustment 

Knob

 

The left adjustment knob is used  change the desired status of a function (i.e. voltage, turn on/off, electrode type, thickness 

etc.) and to set all adjustable values to the left side of the black dividing hash mark just above the 

EVERLAST

” 

logo. If you 

push in on the knob while adjusting, it will adjust in larger increments, usually in whole numbers or increments of 10.

Left/Right

 

Dividing Hash-

mark

 

This mark divides the functions between left side controlled functions and right side controlled functions of the machine.  The 

left side adjustment knob and navigation buttons control the left side of the machine. The right side adjustment knob and 

navigation buttons control the right side of the machine.

 

5

 

Gas Purge

 

This is used to set gas flow rate without having to use the torch trigger. This prevents live feeding of wire.

 

6

 

Wire Jog

 

This 

cold feeds

” 

the wire through the machine to assist in threading the wire through the drive rolls and into gun without 

danger of striking an arc.

Left Side 

 

Navigation

 

Use the up and down arrow keys (       )  to navigate and select the parameter on the left side of the hash mark that you wish 

to change or adjust.  The actual direction may go either up and down or left and right, depending upon the function level you 

are adjusting or selecting.

 

8

 

Right Side 

 

Navigation

 

Use the up and down arrow keys (       )  to navigate and select the parameter on the left side of the hash mark that you wish 

to change or adjust.  The actual direction may go either up and down or left and right, depending upon the function level you 

are adjusting or selecting.

 

9

 

PowerSet

 

The PowerSet function, when selected, enters a synergic mode which gives automated settings based off of the diameter of 

electrode, type of metal, type of gas, and thickness you input into the unit. This simplifies operation and reduces the 

knowledge base needed to make the correct adjustments needed to weld properly. When PowerSet mode is selected, some 

functions of the machine will be set to automatic and will not be adjustable.

Run

Run

-

in uses a slow wire feed in before and as the arc starts to help improve arc starts and prevent excess stuttering (machine 

gunning) of the wire at the start.  This acts as a sort of 

hot start

” 

to prevent porosity and cold welds.  If turned off, the wire 

will feed quickly at the set wire speed as the arc starts. This can create harsher starts in some situations.

 

11

 

Right Adjustment

 

Knob

 

The right adjustment knob is used  change the desired status of a function (i.e. Wire Speed, Amperage, Spool

-

gun operation 

etc.) and to set all adjustable values to the left side of the black dividing hash mark just above the 

EVERLAST

” 

logo. If you 

push in on the knob while adjusting, it will adjust in larger increments, usually in whole numbers or increments of 10.

 

12

 

Save Program

 

The save program feature allows the user to save programs in both MIG and Stick modes.  To begin, set the machine up as 

desired.  Next to access the programming function, press the program/save button and the save screen will appear. Use the 

up and down arrow keys (     ) to select the number where the program will be saved.  Once highlighted, press and hold the 

save button for three seconds.  This will automatically save the program and the new program description will appear. You 

can save over old programs or test programs entered at the factory if desired. Always keep a record of the program number.
