Hot Start for Manual Arc

Built-in “hot start” feature in manual arc mode for even better arc starting.

Arc Force

Built in Arc Force, constantly monitors arc voltage and will boost output if low arc voltage occurs.

Cellulose Electrodes

The combined feature of “Arc Force”, “Hot Start” and high open circuit voltage capability allows the use of Cellulose electrodes.

Lift Arc TIG Start

Easy to use lift arc starting for TIG welding. Eliminates scratch starting and tungsten electrode damage.

Warranty*

With a 2 year unlimited warranty, covering parts and labour, and supported by an Australia wide service network, you can be guaranteed you’re buying reliability and performance.

*Power source only.

Generators*

Generators used to power this equipment must have a minimum capacity of 10kW continuous.

Due to variation between generators by different manufacturers, it is impossible for WIA to validate operation from all generators. Therefore, WIA recommend that operation of equipment on the generator is confirmed before purchasing either welder or the generator.
