The Everlast PowerMTS 400 is a versatile multi-process welder designed for MIG, DC Stick, and DC TIG welding, suitable for both professional and industrial applications. It operates on either 240V single-phase or 480V three-phase power, offering flexibility in various work environments.
Function Description:
The PowerMTS 400 combines three essential welding processes into a single unit:
- MIG (Gas Shielded and Flux-Cored): This mode is ideal for high-speed welding on a variety of materials, offering both gas-shielded and flux-cored options. It supports a wide range of wire types and sizes, making it adaptable for different projects.
- DC Stick (SMAW): This process is robust and suitable for outdoor use or on dirty/rusty metals, as it does not require shielding gas. It handles various electrode types, including E6010, E6011, E6013, E7018, E7014, E7024, and E8018.
- DC TIG (GTAW): This mode provides precise control and produces high-quality welds, particularly on thinner materials. It requires an external argon gas supply and a TIG torch with a gas valve.
The unit features a digital control panel that allows for precise adjustment of welding parameters, including current, voltage, arc force, crater voltage, and crater current. It incorporates advanced features like a 2T/4T trigger function for torch control, pre-flow and post-flow gas settings, and burn back control for MIG welding. The machine is designed for ease of use, with clear indicators and intuitive controls.

Usage Features:
- Multi-Process Capability: The ability to perform MIG, Stick, and TIG welding with a single machine enhances productivity and reduces the need for multiple specialized units.
- Dual Voltage Input: The 240V/480V input allows the welder to be used in various settings, from workshops to industrial sites, offering flexibility in power supply.
- Digital Controls: The intuitive digital display and controls simplify parameter adjustments, making it easier for operators to achieve desired weld characteristics.
- Synergic MIG Settings: The unit may offer synergic MIG programs that automatically adjust wire feed speed and voltage based on material thickness and wire type, simplifying setup for less experienced welders.
- Adjustable Arc Force (Stick): Allows for fine-tuning of the arc characteristics to prevent electrode sticking and improve weld quality, especially with different electrode types.
- Crater Fill Control (MIG/TIG): Helps prevent crater cracks at the end of a weld by gradually reducing current, improving the overall integrity and appearance of the weld.
- Spool Gun Capability: The PowerMTS 400 is compatible with a spool gun, which is essential for welding soft wires like aluminum, preventing feeding issues.
- DINSE Connections: Utilizes standard DINSE 35/50 type connectors for quick and secure attachment of welding cables and torches.
- Wire Feeder: The integrated wire feeder supports various wire sizes and types, with adjustable drive rolls to prevent wire deformation and ensure consistent feeding. The 4-roll drive system provides strong and consistent wire feeding.
- Safety Features: Includes warnings for high frequency (HF) interference, electromagnetic fields (EMF), and general welding hazards, emphasizing the importance of personal protective equipment (PPE) and proper ventilation.
Maintenance Features:
- Regular Cleaning: The manual emphasizes the importance of keeping the unit clean, especially the cooling fan and internal components, to prevent overheating and ensure optimal performance.
- Drive Roll Maintenance: Regular inspection and cleaning of the wire feeder drive rolls and liners are crucial to ensure smooth wire feeding and prevent blockages. The manual provides instructions for checking and changing drive rolls and liners.
- Consumable Replacement: Instructions are provided for replacing MIG gun consumables (nozzles, contact tips, diffusers) and TIG torch consumables (tungsten electrodes, collets, collet bodies, gas lenses), which are critical for maintaining weld quality.
- Cable and Connection Inspection: Regular checks of all welding cables, connections, and the power cord are recommended to ensure they are in good condition and free from damage, preventing electrical hazards and maintaining proper current flow.
- Gas System Checks: For MIG and TIG welding, periodic inspection of gas lines, regulators, and torch connections is necessary to prevent leaks and ensure adequate shielding gas delivery.
- Troubleshooting Guide: A comprehensive troubleshooting section helps users diagnose and resolve common issues such as power problems, intermittent arc, poor weld quality, and wire feeding problems.
- Customer Support: Everlast provides extensive customer support through phone and email, including technical support, warranty information, and parts ordering, ensuring users can get assistance when needed. The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for a specified period.
