Process Stick (SMAW)

Comes complete with

Inverter-based, DC power source with simple-to-use interface providing only the necessary

controls in a compact machine.

• 3 m (10 ft.) power cord

Weld Ready package includes

above plus

m (10 ft.) electrode cable with

• 3holder

• 3 m (10 ft.) work cable with clamp

Most popular accessories

• Stick Welding Cable Kit 058066079

Portable with adjustable shoulder strap. Easy to transport at

under 6.2 kg (13.7 lb.).

Dual fan technology. An optimised power source cooling system

which enables the machine to operate at a lower temperature,

thus increasing its performance and life cycle.

Thermal overload protection with indicator light helps prevent

machine damage if the duty cycle is exceeded or airflow is blocked.

VRD function is a simple design that reduces the open-circuit

voltage to 20 volts when the welding power source is not in use.

Best-in-class stick arc characteristics for those demanding jobs.

Si 160 shown.

Preset Hot Start™ for stick arc starts automatically increases the

output amperage at the start of a weld should the start require it.

Prevents the electrode from sticking and creating an inclusion.

Innovative PFC (power factor control) allows taking full advantage

of the available input amps resulting in the required welding current

without power leakage (Si 160 PFC model).

*VRD sense voltage for stick.
