Dear Customer,
THANKS! You had a choice, and you bought an Everlast. We appreciate you
as a customer and hope that you will enjoy years of use from your welder.
Please go directly to the Everlast website to register your unit and receive your warranty infor-
maon. Your unit registraon is important should any informaon such as product updates or re-
calls be issued. It is also important so that we may track your sasfacon with Everlast products
and services. If you are unable to register by website, contact Everlast directly through the sales
department through the main customer service number in your country. Your unit will be regis-
tered and warranty will be issued and in full eect. Keep all informaon regarding your purchase.
In the event of a problem you must contact technical support before your welder can be a candi-
date for warranty service and returned.
Please review the current online warranty statement and informaon found on the web-
site of the Everlast division located in or nearest to your country. Print it for your records
and become familiar of its terms and condions.
Everlast oers full technical support, in several dierent forms. We have online support available
through email, and a welding support forum designed for customers and noncustomer interacon.
Technical advisors are acve on the forum daily. We also divide our support into two divisions:
technical and welding performance. Should you have an issue or queson concerning your unit,
please contact performance/technical support available through the main company headquarters
available in your country. For best service call the appropriate support line and follow up with an
email, parcularly during o hours, or in the event you cannot reach a live person. In the event
you do not reach a live person, parcularly during heavy call volume mes, holidays, and o hours,
leave a message and your call will normally be returned within 24 hours. Also,for quick answers to
your basic quesons, join the company owned forum available through the website. You’ll nd
knowledgeable, helpful people and sta available to answer your quesons, and perhaps nd a
topic that already addresses your queson at hp://www.everlastgenerators.com/forums/.
Should you need to call or write, always know your model name, purchase date and welder manu-
facturing inspecon date. This will assure the quick and accurate customer service. REMEMBER:
Be as specic and informed as possible. Technical and performance advisors rely upon you to
carefully describe the condions and circumstances of your problem or queson. Take notes of
any issues as best you can. You may be asked many quesons by the advisors to clarify prob-
lems or issues that may seem very basic. However, diagnosis procedures MUST be followed to
begin the warranty process. Advisors can’t assume anything, even with experienced users, and
must cover all aspects to properly diagnose the problem. Depending upon your issue, it is advisa-
ble to have basic tools handy such as screwdrivers, wrenches, pliers, and even an inexpensive
test meter with volt/ohm funcons before you call.
Let us know how we may be of service to you should you have any quesons.
Sincerely,
Everlast Customer Service

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 deliv-
ering a satisfactory product to you. That is the reason we offer technical sup-
port 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 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. As thorough as this welding manual may be, it is no substitute for
either. Exercise extreme caution and care in all activities related to welding or
cutting. Your safety, health and even life depends upon it. While accidents are
never planned, preventing an accident requires careful planning.
Please carefully read this manual before you operate your Everlast unit. This
manual is not only for the use of the machine, but to assist in obtaining the
best performance out of your unit. Do not operate the unit until you have read
this manual and you are thoroughly familiar with the safe operation of the unit.
If you feel you need more information please contact Everlast Support.
The warranty does not cover improper use, maintenance or consumables. Do
not attempt to alter or defeat any piece or part of your unit, particularly any
safety device. Keep all shields and covers in place during unit operation should
an unlikely failure of internal components result in the possible presence of
sparks and explosions. If a failure occurs, discontinue further use until mal-
functioning parts or accessories have been repaired or replaced by qualified
personnel.
Note on High Frequency electromagnetic disturbances:
Certain welding and cutting processes generate High Frequency (HF) waves.
These waves may disturb sensitive electronic equipment such as televisions,
radios, computers, cell phones, and related equipment. High Frequency may
also interfere with fluorescent lights. Consult with a licensed electrician if dis-
turbance is noted. Sometimes, improper wire routing or poor shielding may be
the cause.
HF can interfere with pacemakers. See EMF warnings in following safety sec-
tion for further information. Always consult your physician before entering an
area known to have welding or cutting equipment if you have a pacemaker.
