Selecting the Process.
At the top of the panel (1) the process selector is used to select the
desired welding or cutting process. Use either the right or left arrow
(
) buttons to advance to the next process. Pressing the left or
right arrow button rapidly will require the button to be pressed twice
to move to the next process. The initial press of the arrow button will
display the polarity screen for the next process. A rapid second
press abbreviates the polarity screen (see next page) and allows you
to enter directly into the setup screen for the process selected. A
third rapid press advances to the next process polarity screen. How-
ever, if you advance slowly or decide to move to the next process
after the machine has had time to automatically advance to the setup
screen, it will only require one press to advance to the next process.
If you accidentally pass the process you wanted, instead of cycling-
back through all the processes, simply use the opposite arrow button
to scroll back to the process you desire.
Navigating the Menu.
The panel is divided in half by a black hash-mark (2) below the
screen and a green vertical bar down the middle of the screen. This
divides the control region in half. The left side up and down (3) ar-
rows (
) controls the left half of the screen and the right side up
and down arrows (
) controls the right half of the screen. Both
functions (items that may change in status, such as ON/OFF, or Gun
Selection), and parameters (items that change in value in a range
such as inductance percent) are selectable with the arrow buttons.
The arrows are used to scroll through and highlight the selected
function or parameter. When a function or parameter is selected and
available for adjustment, it will be highlighted and change color, turn-
ing from gray to green (3). In some modes, to avoid confusion, the
general area that is navigated to will flash as well. Default selection
will always be the main adjustment on that side (Volts/Amps/Wire
Feed Speed etc.) (5). When navigation is in default mode, the main
parameter will be brightly lit in white (or green for voltage in stick,
see stick setup section). When navigating away from the default pa-
rameter area, the large white numbers will appear to dim. After 4 to 5
seconds if you haven't made another selection or made an adjustment

to the function or parameter selection, the machine automatically
defaults back to the main parameter area and the numbers will bright-
en and will be able to be adjusted. Of course, if you continue to navi-
gate completely through the left or right side functions and parame-
ters, you will eventually cycle back to the default parameter area
( voltage, wire speed, amperage etc.) and the numbers will brighten
to indicate that you have fully cycled through all the parameters and

returned to the default. NOTE: If a parameter or function has a black
background (
changed or adjusted due to the mode or setting you selected (i.e.
PowerSet) the function is either not relevant or is automatically set by
the machine.
Changing the Functions and Adjusting the Parameters.
To change the status of a function or adjust the value of a parameter,
use the left or right up and down arrow keys (
highlight the desired function or parameter. Then, use the left or
right control knob (6) to make the change in function status (change
from OFF to ON, or change torch type, etc.) or change in parameter
value (increase or decrease the amount of seconds or percentage
etc.). As a default, without navigating to the desired function or value,
the left and right control knobs will be used to adjust the Voltage,
IPM, or Amperage. NOTE: In some modes, the default value will NOT
be adjustable with the knob due to the nature of the process being
used. For example: In the Plasma cutting mode, the left side will
display PSI. The PSI is adjustable only in the rear of the machine and
the main display area will only reflect the adjustment change made to
the rear regulator. When in Stick mode, the left display will display
voltage, but due to the nature of constant current stick welding, volt-
age is not adjustable and is controlled by the arc length.
Observing the Important Information.
At the top center of the machine (6), the welder will display important
reminders to change gas, or which process is being used. It will also
tell you, in case you forget, whether you are in manual or PowerSet
mode. One other piece of information that is provided is the input
voltage the machine senses that is present and being used (120V or
240V). If the voltage does not agree with what you are providing for
power there is likely a fault with receptacle or other issue. Contact
Everlast technical support if this does not agree.
Why Are Some Settings Limited or Blocked?
There are two basic reasons some settings are limited in adjustment or
completely blocked from adjustment. The first is that the unit is being
used on 120V and output is limited. With limited output, the machine
must limit certain range of adjustments to protect itself from malfunc-
tion. In PowerSet mode this is obvious by the limit on selecting elec-
trode or thickness sizes. The second reason is that the machine is in
PowerSet mode and is automatically presetting the unit for you. In
manual mode, most all functions are available for adjustment with the
