Features

What's Included

  • Maxstar® 280 Multiprocess, Tweco
  • 8 ft. (2.4 m.) Primary Cord
  • Adjustable Shoulder Strap
QuietPulse™
QuietPulse is activated by changing the waveshape for DC pulse welding, creating a slower, more fluid transition between the background and peak amperage to create the least possible audible noise.   Learn More
Multiprocess Capabilities
MIG, flux-cored, DC stick and DC TIG processes, allowing you ultimate versatility.
MIG
CV output of the power source gives this unit MIG process capabilities when paired with an ArcReach® 8 or 12 (or other voltage-sensing feeder).
Blue Lightning™
High-frequency (HF) arc starter for non-contact arc initiation. Provides more consistent arc starts and greater reliability compared to traditional HF arc starters.
Fan-On-Demand™
Cooling system operates only when needed, reducing noise, energy use and the amount of contaminants pulled through machine.
Stick Features
Tailored arc control (DIG) allows the arc characteristics to be changed for specific applications and electrodes. Smooth running 7018 or stiffer, more penetrating 6010. Hot Start™ adaptive control provides positive arc starts without sticking.
Pro-Set™ Feature
This feature eliminates the guesswork when setting weld parameters. Use Pro-Set when you want the speed, convenience and confidence of pre-set controls. Simply select the feature and adjust until Pro-Set appears on the display. The Pro-Set feature is available for Balance, Frequency, Pulse and DIG parameters.   Learn More
