This LED light should always be illuminated while the breaker is switched on in the rear. If the light goes off, but
other displays work, check plug wiring and make sure no wires are loose. If problem cannot be resolved, contact
Everlast Technical Support.
This LED light should only light when a thermal overload has been reached, which signals the duty cycle has
been exceeded If the light illuminates, output will be interrupted. If it does illuminate, let the unit cool without
welding, but while continuing to run for 15 minutes, even if the over temperature light does go out. If the light
does not go out, or illuminates early, check for proper fan operation. If fan is operating, remove cover and clean
unit. If problem persists, discontinue use and contact Everlast Technical Support.
If this LED light illuminates, check power input quality. Make sure input power has been selected properly with
the switch on the rear of the unit. If cycling the power switch does not clear the fault or the problem reoccurs,
discontinue use and contact Everlast Technical Support.
For CV wire feeding use, this unit displays a percentage of total wire speed while being adjusted, ranging from 0
-100%. Other wire sizes work best using a percent of wire speed. Keep in mind that maximum wire speed on
240V 1phase is 600 IPM while maximum wire speed for 480V is 750 IPM. So a setting of 50%, would result in
approximately 300 IPM in 240V 1 phase and approximately 375IPM in 480V 3 phase. The machines actual Am-
perage output can be verified by taking a look at the display while welding. The wire feeder controls main Amps/
wirespeed output while MIG welding. Wirespeed combined with wire type/diameter controls Amp output on wire
feed CV welders. For other processes (Stick, TIG, Carbon Arc Gouging), the display will display selected current
(amps) during adjustment and will reflect actual amp output while welding.
For CV wire feeding use this welder displays voltage selected by the user on the wire feeder. While welding it
displays actual voltage output. For the other processes (CV), voltage is a function of arc length and will not be
adjustable. However, for observational purposes, actual voltage output, including OCV until the arc is struck, will
be displayed continuously.
The Crater Voltage is a wire feed function only and it only operates during 4T use. This is designed to provide a
lower voltage at which to fill the crater at the end of the weld. This offers improved, precise control while using
the 4T function to prevent weld cracking from the bottom of the weld crater. This is represented as an approxi-
mate percentage of welding voltage. This is a 0-10 scale but represents 0-100%.
The Crater Current is a wire feed function only and it only operates during 4T use. This is designed to provide a
lower amperage/wire speed feed rate at which to fill the crater at the end of the weld. This is represented as an
approximate percentage of wire feed speed/amps. This is a 0-10 scale but represents 0-100%.
While Stick/MMA welding this controls the "dig" or the current reaction to the length of the arc. This provides an
extra "boost" of amperage when arc length is short and voltage falls below desirable levels. This helps to prevent
arc outage and allows greater heat control over the weld. Start around a base setting of 3 to 4 for most elec-
trodes. Increase to 6 or 7 for cellulose EXX10 rods. Arc force should be set to minimum levels while TIG welding
or Arc Gouging. For MIG this controls puddle fluidity and spatter. Start around 7 for a base setting for MIG.
