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.

A. Infineon microprocessor and IGBT components pro- vide excellent reliability while retaining an inexpen- Duty Cycle. For the Power i-Tig 200T, the duty cycle is sive design. The modular plug and play design re- rated for 35% at 200 amps for TIG and 35% at 160 amps duces maintenance and improves serviceability.

DINSE connector is the return line from the torch to the cooler (cooler is marked “input”) with the red coupling. In some Everlast versions of the torch this return is actually a blue line. In any case, the return line should be the line that exits directly from the DINSE Connector.
5/8 CGA Fitting (Newer) 2014 USA /CA models use 5/8” CGA gas (Ar) fitting on rear NOTE: SOME MODELS ARE CALIBRATED IN LITERS/MINUTE (lpm) EVERLAST NOTE: Use Ar or Ar/He only. Do not use more than 25% He in the Ar/He gas mix.

Contact the manufacturer of the generator 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. Generators that do not at least meet the operating input requirements of the welder are also forbidden to be used with the welders.

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 LIFT START TIG OPERATION Note: A Lift TIG start should be done with a nearly seamless motion. Use a light touch and a quick motion for best results. <1/8” 1. Position the edge of the ceramic cup on the metal. Press and hold the torch switch or press the foot pedal. Wait for the Pre-flow to start.
