ARC200 DV — Stick / Lift TIG

MMA StickLift TIG110V ±15% / 230V ±15%
  1. 1Unbox: welder, electrode holder, ground clamp, power cable
  2. 2Select electrode: E6013 for beginners / mild steel, E7018 for structural, E6011 for dirty metal
  3. 3Connect electrode holder to positive (+) terminal (DCEP for most electrodes)
  4. 4Connect ground clamp to negative (-) terminal and attach to clean workpiece
  5. 5Before connecting power, have a qualified electrician check the exact unit's label, plug, wiring, and intended supply, including circuit protection and grounding. The ARC200 manual specifies 110V ±15% input with 10–120A output adjustment, and 230V ±15% input with 10–200A adjustment. Voltage alone does not establish household breaker, outlet, or generator compatibility.
  6. 6Set amperage according to the applicable manual and electrode instructions, within the input-specific output adjustment range. Do not assume full 200A output on 110V input.
  7. 7Strike arc by tapping electrode on workpiece, maintain 1/8" arc length, drag at 10–15°

💡 Quick Setup Tips

ARC140, ARC200 DV & MIG135 Power Checks

ARC140 is 110V-only per its linked manual: do not connect it to 220/240V. Confirm the exact ARC140 MINI model/version and applicable instructions before use. ARC200 DV's manual lists 110V ±15% input with 10–120A output adjustment and 230V ±15% input with 10–200A adjustment. MIG135's manual lists 110V ±10% input and 32A rated input current; this is not a breaker recommendation. Voltage alone does not establish US household breaker compatibility. A qualified electrician should check the exact unit's label, plug, wiring, and supply, including grounding and circuit protection. Do not assume any 15A/20A outlet or generator is suitable; generator and extension-cord suitability require verification. Follow the applicable approved instructions rather than assuming automatic voltage selection or universal connection compatibility.

First Weld = Test Weld

Always run a test bead on scrap metal before welding your actual workpiece.

Ground Clamp Placement

Attach ground as close to the weld area as possible for best arc stability.

Gas Flow Rate

15–25 CFH is the standard range. Increase slightly in windy or outdoor conditions.
