POWER MIG 255XT WIRE FEEDER/WELDERS ® Output CV POWER MIG®. The Professional’s Choice . SM DC The POWER MIG® 255XT sets the standard for MIG and flux-cored welding in light industrial job shop fabrication, maintenance or repair work. Diamond Core Technology™ delivers a wide voltage sweet spot across the welding range, low spatter levels and a forgiving arc on steel, stainless and aluminum – even for demanding out-of-position work. Input 1 PHASE 60 It’s Spool Gun Ready, so it’s fast and easy to tackle difficult aluminum applications. Exclusive 115 volt auxiliary power means you can power lights, grinders, and chargers right where you work! And, the MAXTRAC® drive system with a patented Split Wire Guide system and tachometer feedback ensures trouble-free wire delivery. Add the extra length 15 foot gun cable and innovative convenience features and you begin to understand why the POWER MIG® 255XT is considered The Professional’s Choice . Hz SM Spool Gun Capable Processes MIG, Flux-Cored Medium Duty Heavy Duty Advantage Lincoln Arc Performance: Professional Features: • Diamond Core Technology™, a patented choke design, delivers: - A forgiving arc, even with large stickout changes - Excellent out-of-position arc action - A wide voltage sweet spot at a given wire feed speed - Low spatter • Digital meters display, preset voltage and wire feed speed, and actual voltage and preset wire feed speed while welding. • Generous 15 ft. (4.5 m) gun and cable assembly makes it easy to reach your work. • Spool Gun Ready – The POWER MIG® 255XT has the electronics and second gas solenoid built-in to drive either the Magnum® 250LX spool gun or the Magnum® SG spool gun.

Publication E7.54 7/08 www.lincolnelectric.com A CLOSER LOOK PERFORMANCE Results: • Great starts and low spatter. • Outstanding performance on a wide variety of materials – steel, stainless and aluminum. • A wide sweet spot for optimal arc performance. What Is It? Diamond Core Technology™ is a patented innovative choke design that filters the welding arc. It provides dynamic optimized arc filtering across the entire welding range of amperages. Other arc stabilization methods are “fixed” – or only working at certain amperages – resulting in harsh arc characteristic changes over the welding range. Great For: • Steel, stainless and aluminum. • Out-of-position work. • Long arc applications. • Weaving techniques.
