General overview:
The SuperUltra 205 from Everlast is
entry level DC TIG, stick and plasma multi
-
purpose unit,
designed for occasional portable repair work and small
project use. It is recommended for the welding enthusi-
ast or hobbyist with occasional repair needs and/or light
duty welding requirements The SuperUltra series fea-
tures a lightweight MOFSET inverter design and can pro-
vide capable service if used within its intended limits.
These are not intended for use in production or intensive
fabrication duties.
NOTE: This unit is not suitable for
welding aluminum.
General Use and Care
: Care should be taken to keep the
unit out of direct contact with water spray. The unit is
rated IP21S, which rates it for light contact with dripping
water but should never be used in the presence of water
for safety. It is a good idea to remove the welder from
the vicinity of any water or moisture source to reduce
the possibility of electrocution or shock. Never operate in
standing water.
Every 1
-
2 months, depending upon use, the welder
should be unplugged, opened up and carefully cleaned
with compressed air. Regular maintenance will extend
the life of the unit.
IMPORTANT: Before opening the unit for any reason,
make sure the unit has been unplugged for at least 10
minutes to allow time for the capacitors to fully dis-
charge. Severe shock and/or death can occur.
Do not restrict air flow or movement of air around the
welder. Allow a buffer distance of 2 ft from all sides if
possible, with a minimum distance of at least
18”
clear-
ance. Do not operate the welder immediately in the
weld area or the force of the fan will cause welding issues
such as unstable arc, or porosity.
Do not mount in areas that are prone to severe shock or
vibration. Lift and carry the welder by the handle.
Do not direct metallic dust or any dirt intentionally to-
ward the machine, particularly in grinding and welding
operations. Make sure the panel is protected from dam-
age during welding and cutting operations by flipping
down the clear protective cover.
Duty Cycle.
This unit is described as a light, entry level
unit. Although it has a duty cycle limit, care should be
taken not to exceed this limit for maximum life. Once the
duty cycle has been exceeded, heat may continue to build
in the electronics. The duty cycle is based off a 10 minute
duty cycle rating at 40° C. This means that the unit is ca-
pable of being operated at the max amps for the stated
percent of time out of 10 minutes without a break to
cool down the unit. For the remainder of the 10 minute
time period, the welder should rest for maximum life.
The temperature light will come on and the welder will
automatically stop welding when an overheat condition
has occurred. Stop welding immediately. Heat will con-
tinue to be generated by and transferred to the elec-
tronics after welding has ceased. Welding in humid, or
hot conditions can affect duty cycle as well. Do not shut
down an overheated welder until it has safely cooled.
Once the overheated condition has cleared, welding can
resume. Do not operate the welder with the covers re-
moved. Only cycle the power switch to reset the unit IF
the light has not gone out after 10 minutes. The duty
cycle for each process varies according to the voltage
input. The duty cycles at maximum rated amps of each
process are as follows:
120V:
TIG @ 35%
Stick@ 35%
Plasma@ 60%
220V:
TIG@35%
Stick@35%
Plasma@35%
HF Start.
The welder uses High Frequency to start the-
TIG arc and plasma cutter arc. HF is generated by a point
gap system similar to an older automotive point/coil sys-
tem. A slight buzz, or hiss may be heard immediately
upon start as the HF energizes. A bright blue light may
be emitted from the front or side panel as the spark en-
ergizes. This is normal and safe as long as the covers are
in place. Do not activate the HF unless you are in posi-
tion and ready to weld to minimize point gap wear. Point
gap should measure between
.030-.045”.
Contact Ever-
last for adjustment instructions if HF appears to malfunc-
tion while either in Plasma or TIG mode.
This manual has been compiled to give an overview of
operation and is designed to offer information centered
around safe, practical use of the welder.
Welding is in-
herently dangerous. Only YOU, the operator of this weld-
er, can ensure that safe operating practices are followed,
through the exercise of common sense practices and
training. Do not operate this machine until you have fully
read the manual, including the safety section. If you
think that you do not have the skill or knowledge to safe-
ly operate this welder, do not use this welder until for-
mal training is received.
