ARC PERFORMANCE
Micro-Start II™ Technology — More than just a starting aid.

MINUM

G

Great Starting

Stable, Focused Arc

Micro-Start II™ Technology minimizes high
frequency and ‘hot starts’ to deliver soft arc starts
without arc wandering for AC and DC welding.

Micro-Start II™ Technology aids arc stability
THROUGHOUT THE WELD CYCLE –
even at the lowest amperage!

Precise Crater Fill

Micro-Start II™ Technology
controlled ramp down helps precisely fill
the weld crater for quality results.

“Set It /See It” Pulse Control — Make attractive and consistent welds!
What Is It?
Pulse welding systems vary weld current between peak (high heat)
and background current (low heat) levels. Adjusting the pulse frequency controls the level of heat input applied to the weld relative
to the weld travel speed.

Results
Better control of heat input in the weld, resulting in:
• Reduced warping and burnthrough on thin materials.
• Smaller heat-affected zone – good for thin material.
• Smaller bead profile without compromising proper penetration.

Great For
• Thin materials – Faster pulse settings help to narrow the bead
profile and minimize the heat-affected zone and resulting warping
or burnthrough.
• Consistent appearance – Slower pulse settings aid in timing the
application of filler metal to produce the consistent stacked bead
appearance associated with high quality TIG
welding.
• Maintaining a steady welding rhythm.
Easy “Set It/See It” Operation:
• Flashing indicator light lets you see the
pulse rate before you strike an arc.

AC Auto Balance® Controls —
Automatically sets the optimal cleaning vs. penetration
level for aluminum welding!
What Is It?
When aluminum welding, the positive (+) portion of the AC welding
amperage cleans the oxides from the aluminum surface. The negative (-) portion delivers more heat input, increasing penetration
level.

Easy Operation:
• Set it and forget it or override when you choose to customize
the settings.

Patented AC Auto Balance® automatically sets the ratio of
cleaning action (+) versus penetration (-) based on amperage.

PERFORMANCE
• Excellent stick welding performance.
— Weld steel, stainless and low allow metals with ease.
— Weld sheet metal, pipe and heavy plate.
— Weld with Lincoln® Blue Max® Stainless, Excalibur® Low
Hydrogen and Fleetweld® 5P welding electrodes.
• Wider output range — for maximum flexibility:
— 2-340A DC, 2-340 AC.
• More amperage than nearest competitor at 40% duty cycle — 25
amps more!
• Lower input current draw compared to nearest competitor — up to
10% less current with 40% more duty cycle.

AC Auto Balance® is especially useful on
critical aluminum applications.

QUALITY AND RELIABILITY
• Fan-As-Needed™ (F.A.N.) minimizes repeated heating and cooling
of internal components, keeps dust and dirt build-up to a minimum
and saves on electricity costs.
• Engineered cooling air routing brings clean air in from the top and
exhausts at the bottom to draw and collect less dirt in the machine
(see photo at right), unlike competitive systems with a vacuum
cleaner-like floor intake.
• Compare these reliability enhancing design features:
— Crimped and soldered power connections.
— Wound and varnished electrical coils do not require coil spacers
to remain secure. Competitive models use wooden coil spacers
that can loosen over time.

Clean, cool air route shown.

— Locking tabs on PC board connectors eliminates loose
connections.
• Tough testing cycles ensure long service — dropping, jerking,
rolling, shipping, vibration, resistance to real world extreme
conditions, and extended in-service life testing.
• Line Voltage Compensation holds output setting constant to
maintain weld quality even when the input voltage fluctuates ±10%.
• CSA C/US certified.
• Lincoln three-year warranty on parts and labor. Two-year extended
warranty available in the U.S.

Snap-action durable switches make positive
mechanical contact to reduce chances of
intermittent contact failure.
