Hot Start™

Hot Start™ provides positive Stick electrode starts making it easy to start all types of electrodes and it also works great for bead tie-ins.

Arc-Drive™

Arc-Drive™ makes welding easy. Automatically enhances Stick welding, especially on pipe, by focusing the arc and preventing the electrode from going out.

Weatherproof Lexan®

Weatherproof Lexan® nameplate resists cracking and fading, and is color-coded for ease of operation.

Enclosed robust case design

Enclosed robust case design protects internal components from impact and allows air flow to cool and prolong the life of the engine. Also reduces sound levels.
