Setup Guide
Getting Started
GET A COOLER IF YOU HAVE A WATER-COOLED TORCH
OR WELD OVER THE AMP LIMIT OF YOUR AIR-COOLED
TORCH.
The new design of the PowerPro units features an improved, seam-
less pairing of the welder and the water
-
cooler. The new PowerCool
series of water coolers are designed to stack under the units, with a
matched sheet metal and front and rear fairings. These will interlock
and provide a slip free connection.
For cooler connection, stacking of the welder over the cooler and
general information on using a water cooler with your unit, see the
water cooler manual. This unit is designed to stack with the new
PowerCool cooler. If you have any questions about purchasing the
correct cooler and assembly for your welder, contact Everlast.
SELECT THE PROPER STICK POLARITY.
The electrode holder, or stick torch (sometimes called a stinger) will
almost always be connected to the right terminal of the machine
( p). The work clamp will be connected to the negative. This
is known as DCEP (DC, Electrode Positive), Although it is an older
term, this is sometimes this is known as
“
reverse polarity
”
Most all
welding rods weld primarily in DCEP. DCEN (DC, Electrode Nega-
tive), although an older term is sometimes called
“
Straight Polarity
”.
There are a few rods like E6011 which can operate either way, but
the preferred polarity is DCEP. Reasons for welding with DCEN are
usually to provide a softer arc or to reduce burn through.
SELECT THE PROPER PLASMA POLARITY.
The PowerPro unit features a Plasma cutter function built into the
unit. To operate properly however, the torch must be in the correct
IMPORTANT!
This unit is designed to operate with most welding rods except for
E6010. If 6010 operation is desired, consider using E6011. This
welding rod has similar characteristics, but has arc stabilizers in the
flux that allows it to be used in similar situations with welding ma-
chines that cannot run the higher arc voltages generated by the
E6010. Always select a good quality brand for best arc stability. If
arc instability is observed, switch brands or change the rod suffix
designation. This unit operates best with a short arc, so either drag
the rod, or hold a very short arc length so that arc outages are not
experienced. A dragging motion, or a slight weave is recommended,
but increasing the arc length may result in arc outages. Rods like
E7018, and E7014,308, 309L, 316 and hard surfacing rods are
excellent choices for use with this machine.

WARNING!
This unit is not designed for Air Carbon Arc Gouging/Cutting or for
Plasma Gouging or Plasma scarfing operations. Do not this unit for
these applications. It is not designed to sustain the high volt and
long arc characteristics needed for Carbon Arc or Plasma gouging
use.
