Your unit registration is important should any information such as product updates or re- calls be issued. It is also important so that we may track your satisfaction with Everlast products and services.

Safe operation and proper maintenance is your responsibility. We have compiled this operator’s manual, to instruct you in basic safety, oper- ation and maintenance of your Everlast product to give you the best possible experience. Much of welding and cutting is based upon experience and com- mon sense.
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.

Section 2 Setup Guide and component Identification 6. If the MTS 250S is used in the manual mode (MIG), or you are welding with the MTS 200 select the appropri- ate wire feed speed (amp) and voltage to match wire type, and size. Listen for a steady frying sound while weld- ing to give you a key as to when it is adjusted properly.

GENERAL NOTES: 1. While welding aluminum with the Spool gun or MIG gun you must use 100% argon. You cannot use a mix as you would with steel or stainless. 2. While welding aluminum with the Spool gun or MIG gun you must use the next size up tip or a special oversize tip for the wire because the heat will cause the aluminum wire to swell and it will either drag or seize in the tip.
