SELECT THE CORRECT TORCH SETUP AND POLARITY.
The polarity of the welder is controlled on the main unit via the DINSE type
connectors. These connectors that can be used are the DINSE 35/50mm
or the DINSE 35/70mm
style connectors. The both have the same diame-
2
ter connecting pin, but the cable size that the connector is capable of ac-
cepting are different.
To change the welder's polarity, simply swap the cables on the main pow-
er source. This includes the wire feeder cable when switching from MIG to
Gasless Flux-Cored wire.
NOTICE: For MIG and wire feed applications the wire feeder will connect
directly to the power source via an umbilical cable (provided) and the gun
will connect to the wire feeder. The work clamp will connect directly to the
power source. The wire feeder is designed to be mounted directly to the
PowerCart 400. However it may be used independently from the cart if
precautions are taken to secure the feeder from overturn and moving. For
all other applications the torch cables and the work clamp will connect
directly to the power source.
See the general torch polarity recommendations below. These are the
normal configurations for each process. But with wire feed operations and
with stick, polarities may vary from what is listed. Confirm the recom-
mended torch polarity with the maker of the filler metals (consult packag-
ing paper work or box of filler metals or manufacturer's website for more
information) as occasionally there are exceptions based off of application.
GMAW (MIG, INCLUDING SPOOL GUN/ALUMINUM): Connect wire feeder
to Positive (+), Work Clamp is connected to Negative (-). The Spool gun
uses the same configuration when being used for welding Aluminum,
Stainless and other solid wire metals.
FCAW (Self Shielded Flux-cored): Connect wire feeder to Negative (-),
Work Clamp is connected to Posititve (+). For gasless, self shielded flux
cored wire use, purchase a flux-cored gun. Do not attempt to use the
standard gun unless operating briefly. Performance with the stock gun will
be limited Everlast does not offer a flux-cored gun. This must be pur-
chased aftermarket. The use of aftermarket guns does not affect warranty.
FCAW-G (Gas Shieled Flux-cored): Connect Flux-Cored Gun to Positive
(+), Work Clamp is connected to Negative (-). The standard gun provided
with the welder may be used with this unit with Gas shielded Flux Cored
wire (also called "Dual-Shielded" wire).
GTAW (TIG): Connect the gas-valve TIG torch to Negative (-), Work Clamp
is connected to Positive (+). The gas valve TIG torch is operated direct
from the Regulator.
SMAW/MMA (Stick): Connect the stick electrode holder to Positive (+),
Work Clamp is connected to Negative
CAC-A (Air Carbon Arc Gouging): Connect gouging torch to Positive (+),
