Planning Guide

Plan the right fit before choosing

Output and welding current

Select the amperage range that fits the task

The available systems provide two distinct output approaches. One provides 70 amp AC output in a portable 115V format. The other provides adjustable 20–250 amp DC output, allowing operators to set welding current for the task at hand.

  • 70 amp AC output for portable stick welding
  • Adjustable 20–250 amp DC output for varied welding-current needs
  • 60% duty cycle at 250 amps on the 250 amp DC model
Power and portability

Verify available power before choosing

Power compatibility is a primary selection factor. The 70 amp AC welder operates on 115V, while the 250 amp DC stick welder operates on 220V single- or three-phase power. Handling features also differ between the two designs.

  • 115V AC operation on the 70 amp welder
  • 220V single- or three-phase operation on the 250 amp DC welder
  • Oversized carry handle on the 70 amp unit
  • Compact 40 lb. IGBT DC inverter design on the 250 amp unit
Accessories and operating features

Consider what is included with the welder

Included accessories can affect setup and everyday operation. The 70 amp AC welder includes a hammer/brush, electrode starter pack, and hand shield. The 250 amp DC welder includes 10 ft. welding leads with a 300 amp stick holder and 300 amp earth clamp. The 70 amp model also includes thermal overload protection and a transformer design intended to support easier arc starts and smoother welding performance.

  • Hammer/brush, electrode starter pack, and hand shield with the 70 amp unit
  • 10 ft. welding leads with 300 amp stick holder and earth clamp with the 250 amp unit
  • Thermal overload protection on the 70 amp unit
