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.

Less than 5% is preferred. Operating the unit on square wave output or modified sine wave generators is strictly prohibited. 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.

Section 3 Basic theory and function Cleaning/Frosted Area of Aluminum running parallel to the side of the weld. Not all weld conditions will be alike, so more cleaning is 30% EP required at times than others. Similarly, more pen- Narrow bead/etching/sharp tungsten etration will be required at times than others.

Section 3 Basic theory and function 5. Pulse. The pulse creates two amp values, a high EXAMPLE 1 and a low value that cycle back and forth between Welding Amps: 100 amps, each other while welding. The upper amperage is PulseAmps: 50% called the “welding amps”...
