What to do if the Everlast Welding System tungsten is rapidly consumed?
If the tungsten is rapidly consumed, it may be due to inadequate gas flow, using too small of a tungsten, or using the wrong shielding gas. Ensure you are using only Argon (Ar) and avoid green tungsten; instead, use red thoriated or another suitable color. Check that the polarity is correct and avoid using too much AC cleaning.
What to do if the Everlast Powertig 250EX Welding System shows porosity of the weld?
If you observe porosity or discoloration in the weld, or the tungsten is discolored, consider the following: the shielding gas flow rate may be too low or too high. The post flow period might be too short. The TIG cup size could be incorrect. Check for possible gas leaks, internally or externally, due to loose fittings. The base metal may be contaminated with dirt or grease.
What to do if the Everlast Powertig 250EX Welding System arc is unstable?
If experiencing an unstable arc, the issue may stem from a poorly ground or shaped tungsten. Regrind the tungsten to the proper point. Too much AC positive polarity could be the cause; reduce the balance to 30% or less and increase the AC frequency. Also, inspect the work clamp and its cable connection for any issues.
What to do if the Everlast Powertig 250EX tungsten is contaminated?
If the tungsten is contaminated and the arc changes to a green color, it may be because the tungsten is dipping into the weld. Check and adjust the stick out to a minimum of 1/8 inch. If the tungsten is melting, reduce the amperage or increase the tungsten size.
What does it mean when the over current LED illuminates on my Everlast Welding System?
If the over current LED illuminates, it means the duty cycle has been exceeded. Allow the machine to cool and make sure the fan is not blocked.
What to do if the Everlast Welding System will not operate in MMA?
If the machine will not operate in MMA, check that MMA has been selected. Make sure the cables are securely in the lugs and ensure there is a good ground.
What to do if weld quality is poor in MMA with Everlast Welding System?
If the weld quality is poor in MMA, check and adjust the settings. Adjust the polarity settings per the electrode manufacturer's instructions.
How to fix Everlast Powertig 250EX Welding System if the arc will not start unless lift started?
To fix this, check the HF point gap and set it to .035”. See the addendum or contact Technical Support. Also, make sure the unit is set to HF.
What to do if Everlast Powertig 250EX machine runs, but will not weld in either mode?
If the machine runs but will not weld, check for sound work clamp and cable connections. Ensure the work cable and TIG Torch are securely fastened to the Dinse style connector. If the overcurrent light is on, reset the main power switch. Contact Technical Support.
