Everlast is dedicated to providing you with the best possible equipment and service to meet
the demanding jobs that you have. We want to go beyond delivering a sasfactory product to
you. That is the reason we oer technical support to assist you with your needs should an
occasion occur. With proper use and care your product should deliver years of trouble free
service.
Safe operaon and proper maintenance is your responsibility.
We have compiled this operator’s manual to instruct you in basic safety, operaon and
maintenance of your Everlast welder to give you the best possible experience. Much of the
welding related acvies you will encounter are based upon experience and common sense.
As thorough as this welding manual may be, it is not a substute for either. Exercise extreme
cauon and care in all acvies related to welding. Your safety, health and even life depends
upon it. While accidents are never planned, prevenng an accident requires careful planning.
Please carefully read this manual in its enrety before you operate your Everlast unit. This
manual is not only intended to outline the funcons of the machine, but to assist you in ob-
taining the best performance out of your unit. Do not operate the unit unl you have read
this manual and are thoroughly familiar with the safe operaon of the unit. If you feel you
need more informaon about operang your unit, please contact Everlast Support.
The warranty does not cover improper use, maintenance or consumables. Do not aempt to
alter or defeat any piece or part of your unit, parcularly any safety device. Keep all shields
and covers in place during unit operaon should an unlikely failure of internal components
result in the possible presence of sparks and explosions. If a failure occurs, disconnue fur-
ther use unl malfunconing parts or accessories have been repaired or replaced by qualied
personnel.
Note on High Frequency electromagnec disturbances:
Certain welding and cung processes generate High Frequency (HF) waves. These waves may
disturb sensive electronic equipment such as televisions, radios, computers, cell phones, and
related equipment. High Frequency may also interfere with uorescent lights. Consult with
an electrician if disturbance is noted. Somemes, improper wire roung or poor shielding
may be the cause.
HF can interfere with pacemakers. See EMF warnings in following safety secon for further
informaon. Always consult your physician before entering an area known to have welding or
cung equipment if you have a pacemaker.
Safety Precautions

6
These safety precauons are for protecon of safety and health. Failure to follow
these guidelines may result in serious injury or death. Be careful to read and follow all
cauons and warnings. Protect yourself and others.
Welding and cung processes produce high levels of ultraviolet (UV) radiaon that can cause se-
vere skin burn and damage. There are other potenal hazards involved with welding such as severe
burns and respiratory related illnesses. Therefore, always wear Proper Personal Protecve Equip-
ment (PPE) and observe the following to minimize potenal accidents and injury:
Use appropriate safety glasses with wrap around shields while in the work area, even under weld-
ing helmets to protect your eyes from ying sparks and debris. When chipping slag or grinding, gog-
gles and face shields may be required.
When welding or cung, always use an approved shielding device, with the correct shade of lter
installed. Always use a welding helmet in good condion. Discard any broken or cracked lters or
helmets. Using broken or cracked lters or helmets can cause severe eye injury and burn. Filter
shades of no less than shade 5 for cung and no less than shade 9 for welding are highly recommend-
ed. Shades greater than 9 may be required for high amperage welds. Keep lter lenses clean and
clear for maximum visibility. It is also advisable to consult with your eye doctor should you wear con-
tacts for correcve vision before you wear them while welding.
Do not allow personnel to watch or observe the welding or cung operaon unless fully protected
by a lter screen, protecve curtains or equivalent protecve equipment. If no protecon is availa-
ble, exclude them from the work area. Even brief exposure to the rays from the welding arc can
damage unprotected eyes.
Always wear hearing protecon because welding and cung can be extremely noisy. Ear protec-
on is necessary to prevent hearing loss. Even prolonged low levels of noise has been known to cre-
ate long term hearing damage. Hearing protecon also further protects against hot sparks and debris
from entering the ear canal and doing harm.
Always wear personal protecve clothing. Flame proof clothing is required at all mes. Sparks and
hot metal can lodge in pockets, hems and cus. Make sure loose clothing is tucked in neatly. Leather
aprons and jackets are recommended. Suitable welding jackets and coats may be purchased made
from re proof material from welding supply stores. Discard any burned or frayed clothing. Keep
clothing away from oil, grease and ammable liquids.
Leather boots or steel toed leather boots with rubber booms are required for adequate foot pro-
tecon. Canvas, polyester and other man made materials oen found in shoes will either burn or
melt. Rubber or other non conducve soles are necessary to help protect from electrical shock.
Flame proof and insulated gauntlet gloves are required whether welding or cung or handling met-
al. Simple work gloves for the garden or chore work are not sucient. Gauntlet type welding gloves
are available from your local welding supply companies. Never aempt to weld with out gloves.
Welding with out gloves can result in serious burns and electrical shock. If your hand or body parts
comes into contact with the arc of a plasma cuer or welder, instant and serious burns will occur.
Proper hand protecon is required at all mes when working with welding or cung machines!
Safety Precautions

7
WARNING! Persons with pacemakers should not weld, cut or be in the welding area unl they
consult with their physician. Some pacemakers are sensive to EMF radiaon and could severely
malfuncon while welding or while being in the vicinity of someone welding. Serious injury or death
may occur!
Welding and plasma cung processes generate electro-magnec elds and radiaon. While the
eects of EMF radiaon are not fully known, it is suspected that there may be some harm from long
term exposure to electromagnec elds. Therefore, certain precauons should be taken to minimize
exposure:
• Lay welding leads and lines neatly away from the body.
• Never coil cables around the body.
• Secure cables with tape if necessary to keep from the body.
• Keep all cables and leads on the same side the body.
• Never stand between cables or leads.
• Keep as far away from the power source (welder) as possible while welding.
• Never stand between the ground clamp and the torch.
• Keep the ground clamp grounded as close to the weld or cut as possible.
Welding and cung processes pose certain inhalaon risks. Be sure to follow any guidelines from
your chosen consumable and electrode suppliers regarding possible need for respiratory equipment
while welding or cung. Always weld with adequate venlaon. Never weld in closed rooms or con-
ned spaces. Fumes and gases released while welding or cung may be poisonous. Take precauons
at all mes.
Any burning of the eyes, nose or throat are signs that you need to increase venlaon.
• Stop immediately and relocate work if necessary unl adequate venlaon is obtained.
• Stop work completely and seek medical help if irritaon and discomfort persists.
WARNING! Do not weld on galvanized steel, stainless steel, beryllium, tanium, copper, cadmium,
lead or zinc without proper respiratory equipment and or venlaon.
WARNING! This product when used for welding or cung produces fumes and gases which con-
tains chemicals known to the State of California to cause birth defects and in some cases cancer.
(California Safety and Health Code §25249.5 et seq.)
WARNING! Do not weld or cut around Chlorinated solvents or degreasing areas. Release of Phos-
gene gas can be deadly. Consider all chemicals to have potenal deadly results if welded on or near
metal containing residual amounts of chemicals.
Keep all cylinders upright and chained to a wall or appropriate holding pen. Unchained cylinders
may be damaged in fall and can cause damage, injury or death. Certain regulaons regarding high
pressure cylinders can be obtained from OSHA or local regulatory agency. Consult also with your weld-
ing supply company in your area for further recommendaons. The regulatory changes are frequent so
keep informed.
All cylinders have a potenal explosion hazard. When not in use, keep capped and closed. Store
chained so that overturn is not likely. Transporng cylinders incorrectly can lead to an explosion. Do
not aempt to adapt regulators to t cylinders. Do not use faulty regulators. Do not allow cylinders to
come into contact with work piece or work. Do not weld or strike arcs on cylinders. Keep cylinders
away from direct heat, ame and sparks. Do not transport without safety caps in place.
Safety Precautions

WARNING! Electrical shock can kill. Make sure all electrical equipment is properly grounded. Do
not use frayed, cut or otherwise damaged cables and leads. Do not stand, lean or rest on ground
clamp. Do not stand in water or damp areas while welding or cung. Keep work surface dry. Do not
use welder or plasma cuer in the rain or in extremely humid condions. Use dry rubber soled shoes
and dry gloves when welding or cung to insulate against electrical shock. Turn machine on or o
only with gloved hand. Keep all parts of the body insulated from work, and work tables. Keep away
from direct contact with skin against work. If ght or close quarters necessitates standing or resng
on work piece, insulate with dry boards and rubber mats designed to insulate the body from direct
contact.
All work cables, leads, and hoses pose trip hazards. Be aware of their locaon and make sure all
personnel in area are advised of their locaon. Taping or securing cables with appropriate restraints
can help reduce trips and falls.
WARNING! Fire and explosions are real risks while welding or cung. Always keep re exnguish-
ers close by and addionally a water hose or bucket of sand. Periodically check work area for smol-
dering embers or smoke. It is a good idea to have someone help watch for possible res while you are
welding. Sparks and hot metal may travel a long distance. They may go into cracks in walls and oors
and start a re that would not be immediately visible. Here are some things you can do to reduce the
possibility of re or explosion:
• Keep all combusble materials including rags and spare clothing away from area.
• Keep all ammable fuels and liquids stored separately from work area.
• Visually inspect work area when job is completed for the slightest traces of smoke or embers.
• If welding or cung outside, make sure you are in a cleared o area, free from dry tender and
debris that might start a forest or grass re.
• Do not weld on tanks, drums or barrels that are closed, pressurized or anything that held amma-
ble liquid or material.
• Keep cylinders turned o when not in use.
• Turn o all cylinders and remove regulators when the machine is expected not to be used for
more than 24 hours. Do not transport cylinders uncapped.
Metal is hot aer welding or cung! Always use gloves and or tongs when handling hot pieces of
metal. Remember to place hot metal on re-proof surfaces aer handling. Serious burns and injury
can result if material is improperly handled. Immediately label all recently welded or cut material as
“Hot” with soapstone or a marker suitable for marking metal, when le unaended.
WARNING! Faulty or poorly maintained equipment can cause injury or death. Proper mainte-
nance is your responsibility. Make sure all equipment is properly maintained and serviced by qualied
personnel. Do not abuse or misuse equipment.
Keep all covers in place. A faulty machine may shoot sparks or may have exploding parts. Touching
uncovered parts inside machine can cause discharge of high amounts of electricity. Do not allow em-
ployees to operate poorly serviced equipment. Always check condion of equipment thoroughly
before start up. Disconnect unit from power source before any service aempt is made and for long
term storage or electrical storms. The warranty does not cover lightening strike damage.
Further informaon can be obtained from The American Welding Society (AWS) that relates directly
to safe welding and plasma cung. Addionally, your local welding supply company may have addi-
onal pamphlets available concerning their products. Do not operate machinery unl your are com-
fortable with proper operaon and are able to assume inherent risks of cung or welding.

2.1 General Description, Purpose and Features.
PowerARC 210STL:
The PowerARC 210STL is a digitally controlled
inverter welder that provides DC stick and DC
TIG welding capability (DC SMAW/DC GTAW)
wrapped up in a completely portable design.
The new digital design has allowed the incorpo-
ration of extra features and improve overall per-
formance. It has also improved serviceability
and reliability of the unit by reducing internal
circuitry and discrete structures. The welder is
ideal for welding tasks where portability and
commercial performance are required. With
120V/240V single phase capability, the unit can
be operated almost anywhere a power outlet is
found, and can be used with small clean pow-
ered generators rated for at least 9000 surge
watts (240V). (USA/Canada models only. Other
regions may vary.)
Stick Features.
The improved Stick arc performance of the
PowerARC 210STL includes the ability to weld
with E6010/Cellulose rod type as well as the
ability to weld with almost any other type of
welding rod. The smooth and stable Stick weld-
ing characteristics of the PowerARC series are
well known, particularly with iron powder type
rods. However, the addition of the E6010 func-
tion on this machine makes setting the unit up
for cellulose rods simple as touching a button to
attain the crisper, more driving arc performance
that is needed to weld with this type of rod.
The addition of adjustable arc force control, hot
start intensity and duration further refines the
performance of the machine with all welding
rods. Adjustable Hot start in stick mode reduc-
es rod sticking while striking an arc by provid-
ing a controlled surge of amps to temporarily
increase welding wattage. Similarly, the adjust-
able arc force controls the intensity of the amp
reaction to the arc length and by providing ex-
tra current to the arc when the arc length is
shortened and voltage begins to fall below 20
volts. This prevents the arc from extinguishing
and helps to improve overall arc performance in
all position welds by increasing amps to main-
tain a level welding wattage (Remember: Volts x
Amps = Watts). However, if the rod should
stick fast in the weld, the anti-stick function of
the machine will terminate weld output within 3
seconds so the rod can be more easily removed
and the chance of accidental arc flashing of the
user or bystanders will be reduced. Voltage
reduction technology (VRD) has been added to
meet low OCV requirements on jobsites where
the chances of electrocution may be present.
TIG Features.
Additionally the unit has been improved in TIG
function and features. The user now has 2
choices for starting the arc, which can be cho-
sen to match the type of operation that is re-
quired in different circumstances. The low con-
tamination Live lift function provides a continu-
ously live arc and allows the arc to be struck
without the use of a foot pedal or torch switch
that is needed to initiate the arc. The torch will
always remain live, and when contact is sensed,
the current is lowered to allow an easier time of
lifting the torch without the tungsten sticking
fast in the target weld area. The torch is simply
placed on the metal and lifted up to start the arc
and then the current automatically increases
once contact is broken. This is typically used
where a foot pedal is not practical, such as
pipeline or boiler work, under vehicles or on roll
cages. The disadvantage is that the Tungsten is
live all the time and an arc could be accidentally
struck, causing eye flash, burn or serious injury.
The second function, while similar, provides a
safer alternative, by preventing a situation
where live tungsten could accidentally cause an
arc strike if it is touched to the metal. The Lift
TIG Start function also provides a clean, inter-
ference free start for electronically sensitive
areas where high frequency (HF) arc starting is
restricted or prohibited. However, the lift TIG
function must be used with the torch switch,
torch amptrol or foot pedal to start the arc. This
is best for operations that are used with bench-
work, or fixed welding areas where production
welding and fabrication takes place.
NOTE: This unit is DC output only. This unit is
not intended to TIG weld aluminum or magnesi-
um. However, the unit can be used to stick weld
aluminum with specially designed aluminum
stick welding electrodes (rods). Flux -coated
aluminum stick welding rods are expensive. Oth-
er than occasional use for emergency repair, are
not generally considered a economically viable
alternative to AC TIG welding or MIG welding
aluminum. While DC+ and DC– TIG have both
been used to weld aluminum in the past, both
have technical and practical issues. AC TIG is
generally considered to be far superior, and is
generally considered by professionals the best
method of welding aluminum.
2.2 Basic Overview and operation.
Basic Welding Package.
The PowerARC 210STL package includes a stick
welding package as standard equipment with an
additional TIG torch and accessory package
available as an option. The stick package in-
cludes a stick electrode holder with cable, and a
General Setup and OperationSection 2

work clamp with cable. Work clamp and elec-
trode cables are approximately 10 ft. in length.
Longer cables lengths can be added to the elec-
trode holder and work clamp and accompanying
connectors, if desired. These can be readily
sourced at almost any local welding supply
store. Do not surpass 25 ft lengths on welding
cables for best arc behavior and starting. The
recommended TIG torch is a NOVA 17 series
Rotaflex TIG torch with 12.5 ft cables and DINSE
50 Connector. Any 17,26, or 18 series compati-
ble consumables will fit this torch. The foot pe-
dal and gas regulator are optional as well. For
the foot pedal, the best choice is the NOVA Long
Life series foot pedal. 10k Ω or 22kΩ designs
from NOVA will work. Note: Customer supplied
pure argon must be used while operating in TIG
mode.
Basic TIG Operation Information:
Attention: The Foot Pedal is Optional. It is availa-
ble for separate purchase (US models). If foot
pedal is needed, purchase a NOVA 10k or 22k
pedal for use with the unit direct from Everlast.
Additionally a torch mounted Amptrol which fea-
tures a sliding action to control the Amps is
available from NOVA, which may also be pur-
chased direct through Everlast.
The welder features a built -in gas solenoid
which allows you to automatically turn gas flow
on and off as the torch switch or foot pedal is
cycled. An automatic pre -flow timer is provided
so a brief delay in arc starting may be experi-
enced until the pre-flow period of time is satis-
fied. Pre-flow is needed to provide a “pocket” of
shielding gas before the arc starts. Otherwise,
porosity of the weld or rapid consumption of the
tungsten could be experienced during the start.
An arc start delay of about .5 seconds will be
experienced due to the Pre-Flow cycle. A sudden
rush of gas may be heard when the Pre -flow is
first cycled on. The sound should dissipate
within the pre-flow cycle or shortly after the arc
starts. The “surge” of gas is normal, and you
will not normally hear the gas flowing while
welding. If the sound of continuous gas flow is
easily distinguishable from background noises,
this may be wasting too much gas and creating
turbulence while destabilizing the arc. If you are
worried that you are not getting gas flow while
welding, have someone look at the flow meter to
verify that the regulator ball is continuing to
float while welding. You may also be able to do
this if you have an autodarkening helmet. If you
take a glance, keep your welding helmet hood in
the down position. The welder also features an
adjustable post-flow which stops gas flow once
the arc is terminated according to the time set
on the panel with the control. The post -flow tim-
er provides proper shielding of the weld pool
from the atmosphere as it cools, and also helps
to cool the torch head. A good rule of thumb to
use is to set the welder Post -flow time for 1
second for every 10-20 amps of power.
To operate in TIG mode, stand to the side of the
Argon cylinder (never in front of the discharge
side!) and purge the gas by quickly twisting the
valve open and then back closed to dislodge any
particles of dirt or metal shavings from the con-
nection and valve seat. Then, connect the reg-
ulator to the unit by hand and complete the
tightening process with a wrench. Never use
pliers to tighten. Make sure all gas connections
are tight, including the torch connections. Apply
soapy water to the connections to determine if
there is any leakage. Leaking gas can create
contamination issues. So, this step should not
be overlooked. Use cylinders that are considered
pure Argon or 100% compressed Argon only.
Medical grade gas is usually not required. Many
issues with TIG welding result from wrong gas
selection or cross contaminated cylinders that
were not purged properly before use. Never use
a mixed shielding gas for MIG welding, especial-
ly any with CO2 in the mix. Shielding gases that
include Argon and Helium or pure helium are
permissible. However Helium can destabilize the
arc and make are starting more difficult in larger
amounts. It is also much more expensive and
just isn’t necessary.
To set the machine up to TIG weld, press the
green button directly above the adjustment knob
and select the icon which resembles a TIG torch.
(When selected the LED associated with the pro-
cess will be lit.) Then, be sure to select from
either Live Lift or Lift TIG. (See diagrams on
pages 17 and 18 for starting procedures.) If
Live Lift is selected, no foot pedal pedal,
amptrol or torch switch is necessary. In Live Lift
mode, variable amp control via the foot pedal or
weld sequencer control will not be possible.
Amps will only be set and controlled at the pan-
el. With TIG always check to see the torch cable
is fully engaged in the negative terminal of the
welder and the work clamp cable is located in
the positive terminal. (Twist the connector about
1/4 turn clockwise to lock it in place). If in Lift
TIG mode, connect the torch switch /foot pedal
cable to the control connector. Then snap in the

gas line from the torch into the gas fitting. Ad-
just welding current with the amp control knob
to desired amp setting. Make sure the tank is
open and the regulator is adjusted to 10 -20 CFH
(5-10 lpm). If using Live Lift start, place the
cup on the metal, then lightly roll the tip of the
tungsten to the metal to start the arc. Next,
press the torch switch (or foot pedal) and quick-
ly lift up to a distance of 1/8” or less to begin
welding. If using Lift TIG start, make sure the
torch switch or foot pedal is connected, roll the
torch to the metal as directed above, then acti-
vate the foot pedal or torch switch while the
tungsten is making contact. Immediately lift up
to initiate the arc once the torch is fully down.
In either mode: If the arc does not start, reposi-
tion the work clamp to make direct contact with
the metal that is being welded. If possible, do
not route the work clamp to a table leg or any
point that is not the part being welded. If it is
not possible, make the current path as short as
possible between the work clamp and the work
piece. Make sure it is connected at a cleaned
spot, free of paint and rust and that it is making
good contact. See page 24 for more arc starting
and operation information.
The down-slope and 2T/4T/Pedal function are
related in function to each other. 2T/4T modes
are used exclusively with the torch switch.
These modes make it easier to work in tight
spaces or positions where a foot pedal isn ’t
practical. 2T mode represents a simple “press
and hold” function. This allows the arc to start
by pressing down on the torch trigger to start
the arc and then continue to weld by maintaining
pressure on the torch switch. When 4T is select-
ed, the torch trigger must be pressed down to
start the arc. Once the arc is started and stable,
the torch trigger can be released. The unit ’s pro-
gramming will then automatically slope (raise)
the amperage to the welding current set on the
panel. To stop the arc in 4T mode, once again,
press and hold the torch trigger. As the trigger
is held, the arc amperage begins to slope down,
lowering the heat. This allows time to fill the
weld crater (puddle at the end of the weld) and
adds a measure of control over the cooling cycle
of the weld. The down -slope time controls the
amount of time allowed to fill and finish the weld
before the terminal amperage (minimum amper-
age) is reached. To finish: terminate the arc and
start the post-flow cycle by releasing the torch
switch. The second release of the torch switch
is the final stage of the weld cycle. This allows
time for extra filler metal to be added to fill and
round off the top of the crater (the unfilled, bot-
tom part of the weld puddle). This feature helps
control crater cracks which cause premature
weld failures. Setting at down -slope time is an
important part of using correct weld technique.
While no exact setting for down -slope time is
recommended per amps used, it is a good idea
to always maintain enough time so that one or
two extra dabs of the welding rod can be added
the puddle begins to cool. This will round off
the end of the weld and help prevent cracking
which is prone to start at the weld crater. Usual-
ly, no less than 1 to 2 seconds should be used.
If using the foot pedal, down-slope is performed
manually through backing down the pedal, mak-
ing the use of the down-slope redundant.
The foot pedal is used to start the arc and con-
trol the amps within the range set on the panel.
Note: A low Amp setting may require further
downward travel than normal to start the arc or
change the Amps. This is normal because
changing the Amperage changes the resolution
of the pedal. This also may contribute to a more
sluggish feel of the foot pedal but does increase
control. If a more rapid reaction to the pedal is
needed, increase maximum Amperage on the
panel. This will give more Amps than needed,
but will provide the level of control expected.
Basic Stick Operation Information:
The stick function of this machine has several
adjustable features that help change the arc
characteristics. It also has some features
geared specifically for safety. To begin with, be
sure to select the stick icon before starting to
weld. Arc striking can be done quite easily with
practice. See page 21 for more information on
arc striking and stick welding techniques. The
Hot Start helps to reduce sticking during initial
arc striking. The Hot Start is adjustable for in-
tensity, and duration. The intensity of the Hot
Start can be set from 0 -100% over available hot
start amperage. The duration of the hot start
once the arc is struck may be adjusted up to 2
seconds. Old welding electrodes (rods) or dirty,
rusted or painted metal may require greater ac-
tion. For most purposes, hot starts less than
50% and less than 3/4 of a second are generally
desired. As amperage increases, the available
Hot Start action will be diminished due to the
fact there is less overall amperage available in
the upper amp range of the machine. In short, if
amperage is raised to or approaches the maxi-
mum output limit of the welder, the hot start
action will be less noticeable. This is most ap-
parent when welding with 120V. To achieve bet-
General Setup and OperationSection 2

13
ter starting with 120V, smaller welding elec-
trodes may need to be used to achieve a better
start.
Hot start works well to improve starts, but main-
taining the arc in less-than-favorable conditions
where the arc length must be held short is the
job of the arc force control. The action of the
arc force control is similar to the hot start in the
fact it boosts amps to prevent arc outage. But it
only does so when the arc voltage drops below a
threshold of approximately 20V. The amp rise
responds in proportion to the drop in voltage to
maintain overall wattage. Be sure to double
check (especially after TIG welding) that the
electrode holder cable is located in the positive
terminal, and the work clamp is located in the
negative terminal. In general most iron powder
fluxed rods and titania fluxed rods require arc
force settings of 30% or less. For cellulose,
higher arc force values from 40 to 60% may be
desirable. During 120V operation, E6010 perfor-
mance may be reduced due to the limits im-
posed on the arc force action. If necessary, drop
down to the next smaller electrode for best re-
sults. See the page dealing with arc striking
technique and general rod size selection later in
this manual. Briefly, the welding rod size while
operating on 120V is generally limited to 3/32”
max diameter electrode. Rod size while operat-
ing on 240V is generally limited to 1/8” diameter
electrode. Oversizing a rod will increase stick-
ing and can create undesirable cold lap (lack of
fusion at the weld toes). As with any type of
welding, practice will usually improve the re-
sults.
For stick, a Voltage Reduction Device (VRD) has
been added for safer operation in areas where
electrocution is an issue. In fact, on some job
sites the use of VRD may be required. Though
very rare, electrocution is a hazard that all weld-
ing activities present. The VRD, when selected,
reduces the Open Circuit Voltage to less than 24
Volts, (DC output). If the user were to become
part of the current path, in most circumstances,
this voltage would not be fatal, although a shock
may still be felt. The VRD is a safety feature
that can be used to help reduce the risk of elec-
trocution while conducting Stick welding activi-
ties. It cannot operate unless the VRD has been
turned on via the control button on the welder.
As a safety device, the VRD excels at what it
does. Howevr, it does not eliminate all risk of
electrocution from the user coming into contact
with power input cables or internal parts of the
machine. Common sense and adherence to
safety practices should be employed at all times
when the VRD is required to be used. Note that
while reducing shock risk the VRD can reduce
arc starting efficiency and can cause the arc to
be more difficult to start. If trying to start the
arc with VRD engaged, try using a quick “double
tap” of the electrode to get the arc started.
The Anti-Stick function of the welder helps to
prevent the welding rod from sticking fast in the
weld and flaming up the rod due to the rod turn-
ing red hot and overheating. The Anti-stick
function, when activated via the control button
on the welder, reduces weld output when the
rod contacts the metal and the arc is extin-
guished. The main goal of the anti -stick func-
tion is to help reduce the chance of a “firm
stick” of the rod, where it becomes fully fused
to the weld puddle, so reduced effort is needed
to break the welding rod loose. It also helps to
eliminate arc flashing when the rod does break
loose. This helps to protect bystanders and even
the operator against accidental flashing. It may
not eliminate accidental arc flashing in all cir-
cumstances, but does reduce the chances of
intense arc burn to the eyes if eye protection is
removed or the welding hood is lifted to remove
the stuck rod. The unit will auto reset and weld-
ing will resume once the stuck rod has been
cleared and contact has been broken.
Note: Using the Anti-Stick and VRD together
can cause a greater issue with arc starting and
arc stability. If arc starting issues arise, and
safety protocols permit, try turning one or both
functions off to improve starting efficiency.
2.3 Handling and General Maintenance .
Duty Cycle and Overcurrent:
Be careful to observe the duty cycle of the weld-
er. Do not intentionally overheat the welder.
Intentional or repeated overheating will eventu-
ally damage the unit. This damage is apparent
upon inspection and not covered under warran-
ty.
Overheating may occur if the duty cycle is ex-
ceeded. Overheating will cause the unit safety
cutout to engage, will subsequently interrupt
output. Allow the unit to rest while remaining
switched on for at least 15 minutes if the duty
cycle safety has triggered. After that, reset the
unit by cycling the main power switch on the
rear. Even though the duty cycle rating is made
General Setup and OperationSection 2

14
at 104°F (40°C) ambient temperature, high local-
ized heat, air flow restrictions around the welder
and humid conditions will also affect the duty
cycle of the welder. If the unit overheats or an
overcurrent condition is experienced, an error
code will be triggered and the unit will stop
welding. An over current or under current con-
dition is usually caused by dirty power condi-
tions, over/under, voltage power supply, faulty
breaker or an internal fault. If the light is green
or yellow green, this a duty cycle issue. In ei-
ther case, if the light/code does not clear and
the unit does not resume welding output, by
cycling the power switch (after the required
amount of rest, if any), contact Everlast.
Note: The duty cycle is 35% at the maximum
output of 200 amps while operating on 240V.
Maximum Amp output will be reduced to 90±A)
Amps while operating on 120V to limit current
draw. The Duty cycle is re-adjusted to 35% at
120 Amps while operating on 120V.
The unit should be stored in a dry place where
temperatures do not drop below 0°F ( -17°C) for
long term storage. Do not operate below 21°F (-
6C°). Humid/wet conditions can contribute to the
eventual decay of the circuitry in the machine.
For safety reasons, do not use this machine di-
rectly in the rain or with soaked clothing or
damp protective gear, even with VRD engaged.
The service rating for this unit is IP21S, and is
not designed for wet environment use. Use the
carry strap or handle provided to lift the welder.
Do not suspend the unit in the air by the strap.
Make sure that the unit’s cooling fan and ex-
haust vents are kept free of obstruction. Before
every operation, inspect unit for unexpected ob-
structions such as insect and vermin nests.
Once a month, or as needed, clean the machine
thoroughly inside and out with compressed air.
To do this, remove the rear plastic cover first
(check for screws on the bottom). Then remove
the screws on the metal cover. Pull the cover off
by slightly spreading/flexing the bottom “flaps”
of the metal cover with your fingers. Pull up
and to the rear to remove the cover. Do not
attempt to remove the front cover or front panel
of the machine. The front panel is part of the
structure of the unit and requires significant ef-
fort and time to remove. Removing the cover to
clean the welder will not void the warranty.
However, neglecting periodic cleaning of the
welder may cause damage to the machine’s cir-
cuit board from metallic dust or particles set-
tling on the traces over time. The boards are
coated with protective conformal coatings to
protect against these issues, but even with the
protective coating, dust and metal particles can
still affect the unit if they continue to build up.
This type of neglect may be grounds to deny
warranty service as it is considered the part of
routine maintenance. However , before remov-
ing the covers, unplug the welder for 30 minutes
allowing the internal capacitors to discharge to
prevent shock, injury or death. Never remove
and circuit boards unless authorized. But, while
you are inside the unit for maintenance, always
check all plugs and connections for tightness
before replacing the covers. Do not pinch any
wires when reinstalling the covers. Wear safety
glasses to prevent eye injury from flying parti-
cles that may get dislodged while cleaning with
compressed air. Do not concentrate compressed
air on the skin or injury may occur. Using
“canned-air” is acceptable as well, but do not
allow components to freeze. Keep moving the
nozzle back and forth to keep components from
freezing up.

The regulator is calibrated in Cubic Feet Per Hour (CFH) in the US and Canada. In other regions the gas flow rate may be calibrat-
ed in Liters Per Minute (LPM). Adjust the regulator flow rate while gas is flowing only. Ball will not float unless gas is flowing.
Once gas stops flowing, ball will drop slowly. If ball is floating and no gas should be flowing, check for leaks or stuck solenoid.
Gas flow rate requirement will be affected by joint design, fit up, position, cup size, Amp settings, metal type, drafts, etc.
CAUTION! WHEN OPENING THE CYLINDER VALVE! ALWAYS OPEN CYLINDER FULLY. SHIELDING GAS CYLINDERS ARE DE-
SIGNED TO BE COMPLETELY OPENED OR CLOSED OR LEAKAGE FROM THE VALVE STEM MAY OCCUR. Use common sense:
Stand to the opposite side of the regulator, on the other side of the tank while opening the cylinder valve. If a regulator or gauge
were to be damaged or develop a defect, the regulator may send parts flying at high speed, causing serious injury or death if you
are in the direct path. Allow the regulator to pressurize slowly before standing in front of it to make any adjustments.

Floating Ball
Start all fitting threads with fingers and turn clockwise until the male fitting begins to seat. Then, use only a wrench to t ight-
en fittings. Do not use pliers or any type of gripping device with locking jaws or serrated teeth. When tightening the tubing
fitting to the welder’s CGA 5/8” fitting, use two wrenches, one to hold the machine side fitting and one to turn the hose side
fitting. If two wrenches are not used, the machine side fitting may strip the hole and begin to turn in the housing and begin to
twist the solenoid which the machine mounted fitting is screwed directly into. Do not overtighten any fitting. Only use an
adjustable wrench if no exact fit wrench is available. Usually 1/8 -1/4 turn after the fitting first begins to make full contact with
the female fitting seat is sufficient for establishing proper tightness. The fittings are brass and can strip or break if exc essive
pressure is used. Do not use sealing tape or pipe thread sealant or any type of thread compound. Test for leaks with warm
soapy water or approved leak detector at all fittings (including main cylinder fitting and valve stem!) and tubing after conn ec-
tion. If the tubing leaks at the fittings, use special hose clamp pliers to further squeeze the stainless clamps. If no cla mp
pliers are available, a pair of side cutters can be used to further squeeze and crimp the fitting clamps. If side cutters ar e
used to re-crimp the hose clamp, use only the pressure needed or you may cut the clamp. The clamps are tough stainless
steel, but it is possible to cut them if care is not exercised. If sealing cannot be achieved, use additional worm gear type
hose clamps to completely seal the tubing. If fittings do not seal with moderate pressure, remove and inspect fittings for
burrs, deformation or wear (including cylinder threads). Before connecting the regulator to the cylinder, stand to the oppo-
site side of the opening and quickly open and close the valve to create a blast which will purge any dirt or particles lodged in
the cylinder threads, in the valve or on the seat. IMPORTANT! Use safety glasses when connecting and disconnecting regula-
tor or purging cylinder. Always stand out of the direct line of the regulator as much as possible when opening the cylinder
valve. If cylinder valve is leaky or faulty, return the cylinder immediately to the distributor for testing or repair. Alwa ys keep
cylinders chained up. Never weld on a cylinder. Keep cylinders out of the immediate weld area, especially when molten metal
or sparks are present. Keep caps installed on cylinders when transporting. Keep cylinders secured when transporting in
vehicles. Do not transport cylinders in enclosed vehicles. Do not cylinders with the regulator installed.

IMPORTANT: While using the PowerARC 210STL on 120V power, be sure to maintain polarity and use the white wire as the common/neutral,
with the black as the “hot” and the green serving as the ground or damage and malfuncon may occur. Do not remove the NEMA 6-50 plug to
operate on 120V. Use the 240V-120V adapter available from Everlast to adapt the plug to standard 120V power. No other wiring is required.
The unit automacally senses the voltage change and adjusts the output accordingly. The unit is provided with a NEMA 6-50P welder plug for
240V operaon. This is a standard 50 amp welder plug with a ground, but no neutral. Care should be exercised when wiring a new plug and
making any modicaons to exisng wiring. A licensed electrician that is familiar with local wiring codes should be consulted before using,
adding to or making any changes to exisng circuits. The informaon given on the graphic located on the welder supplies the necessary
informaon for breaker and wire sizing. This informaon is found in the I1max and the I1e current input rangs on the graphic. The NEC
supplies special rules on wiring of welder circuits, but local codes and special circumstances may require a heavier or independent circuit.
