AC/DC Stick (SMAW) Arc Welding Power Source
230 Volt
he Stickmate LX 235 AC/160 DC power sources
let you choose between AC or DC weld output
to expand your welding options to either AC or DC
Stick electrodes. DC output means fewer arc
outages, less sticking, less spatter, better control
on thin work, and easier out-of-position welding.
AC output produces less arc blow and easier starts.
T
Accu-Set™ design provides accurate heat control
with infinite amperage control. This Stick welder
also allows a higher duty cycle when amperages
decrease to give you more arc time when welding
thinner materials.
Applications:
Farms
Ranches
Ornamental Iron
Garages
#500421
Includes:
15-ft. (4.5 m) electrode cable with heavy-duty holder
10-ft. (3 m) work cable with clamp
5-ft. (1.5 m) power cord with plug

Features
Benefits
Accu-Set™ amperage indicator
Accu-Set is an exclusive design for accurately controlling amperage or heat output. As you turn the Accu-Set™ control,
the indicator more clearly shows the amperage setting.
Infinite current control
The precise control of the Stickmate LX 235 AC/160 DC allows the operator to adjust output by as little as 1-amp
increments. Users can always get the exact heat they need, unlike the step control design on competitive products.
Output selector switch
Allows you to quickly select AC, DCEP or DCEN without adjusting the output leads.
High 100% duty cycle rating
100 amps AC/65 amps DC.
High DC weld output
Up to 150 amps available at 20% duty cycle. The Stickmate LX 235 AC/160 DC model has 20% more DC output than
competitive products.
Two AC output ranges
With two AC ranges to select from, you have greater control of weld performance.
Fully varnished magnetic coils
Varnish protects and lengthens the life of the coils inside for increased reliability.
Forced-draft cooling fan
The cooling fan runs continuously and helps to extend the life of the power source.
Hobart’s 5/3/1 Warranty
Five-year warranty on transformers, stabilizers and generators; three years on electronics (drive motors, rectifiers);
and one year on guns.
