Why is the Plasma Arc unstable on my Everlast Welding System?
If you're experiencing an unstable plasma arc with your Everlast Welding System, it may be due to a poorly grounded unit or worn consumables.
What to do if my Everlast PowerPro 205 Welding System runs, but will not weld in either mode?
If your Everlast Welding System runs but won't weld in either mode, ensure you have a good ground connection. Verify that the ground cable and TIG Torch are securely fastened to the lug and receptacle. Also, double-check that the switch is correctly selected for TIG, MMA (Stick), or Plasma (Cut) mode.
Why is there porosity in my Everlast PowerPro 205 weld?
If you're experiencing porosity in your weld, discolored weld color, or a discolored tungsten when using your Everlast Welding System, consider the following: * Check for a low flow rate of shielding gas. * Ensure the post flow period isn't too short. * Verify you're using the correct TIG cup size. * Look for possible gas leaks internally or externally due to loose fittings. * Make sure the base metal is clean and free from dirt or grease.
What to do if I have heavy slag on the underside of the cut with my Everlast Welding System?
If you're experiencing heavy slag on the underside of the cut with complete cut through when using your Everlast Welding System, try increasing the cutting speed or reducing the cutting amperage to better suit the metal thickness. Also, ensure your standoff distance is no more than 1/8 inch and check for worn consumables.
Why is the cut quality poor or irregular with my Everlast PowerPro 205 Welding System?
If you find the weld quality is poor or irregular when using your Everlast Welding System, check and adjust your settings. Try increasing or decreasing the air pressure and inspect the consumables for wear.
Why is the weld quality poor in stick mode on my Everlast PowerPro 205 Welding System?
If, while in stick mode, the weld quality is poor or the bead is piled up or ropy when using your Everlast Welding System, use the stick electrode holder in DC+ for most welding situations, as only certain electrodes can be used in DCEN. Increase the arc force control to improve penetration.
Why is the TIG tungsten rapidly consumed on my Everlast PowerPro 205?
If the TIG tungsten is rapidly consumed when using your Everlast Welding System, ensure the gas mix is only Argon or Argon helium and is not contaminated. Check the torch polarity to ensure the torch is DCEN, or reduce the DCEP setting in AC mode. If the tungsten is too small, increase it to the next size or reduce the current. Also, check for proper shielding gas flow and adjustment.
Why is the tungsten contaminated on my Everlast PowerPro 205?
If the tungsten is contaminated when using your Everlast Welding System, it might be dipping into the weld. Check and adjust the stick out to meet welding conditions and torch angle. Reduce the amperage or increase the tungsten size.
Why are the electrodes and tips rapidly consumed on my Everlast PowerPro 205 Welding System?
If the electrodes and tips are being consumed rapidly on your Everlast Welding System, ensure adequate airflow and that there is no water in the air supply. Check for poor cutting technique and return to a stand-off cutting distance of no more than 1/8 inch. Also, check and tighten the consumables.
Why is the Tig arc unstable on my Everlast PowerPro 205?
If your Everlast Welding System's Tig arc is unstable, check the polarity. Also, check for excess or inadequate argon flow. Install the TIG torch for DC- (negative) polarity and the Stick electrode holder for DC+ (positive) polarity. Ensure the tungsten is not contaminated; grind it to a point 2.5 times the diameter of the tungsten. Avoid using green tungsten (pure) under any circumstance, even for AC operation. Check the work clamp location and connection, changing the location or grinding the area if needed. Do not intentionally ball the tungsten; use a sharpened point, as inverters do not need a balled tungsten. Avoid dipping the tungsten into the weld pool.
