Issued March 2012 • Index No. DC/29.55 Stick/TIG Welding Power Source Industrial Applications Quick Specs Input Power Power Plant Construction Petrochemical Construction Maintenance and Repair Shipbuilding Stick (SMAW) TIG (GTAW) Lift-Arc™ Amperage Range Max. Open-Circuit Voltage Weight Superior Stick arc performance even on the difficult-to-run electrodes like E6010. Optional 4- or 8-pack racks are available for multiple operator applications. These are commonly used in construction and shipyard applications. All CST controls including the power switch are located on front of the machine for easy access. Adaptive Hot Start™ for Stick arc starts automatically increases the output amperage at the start of a weld should the start require it. Prevents the electrode from sticking. Portable in the shop or at the job site — at 41 pounds the CST 280 is easily moved from location to location. Lift-Arc start provides TIG arc starting without the use of high frequency. ™ Remote amperage control provided through 14-pin receptacle on front of the machine. This permits use of standard remote amperage control devices. Easy to install with a new switch on the outside of the package, the machine can be changed between low and high input voltage ranges. Also, since the switch is on the back, input voltages can be changed without removal from inverter racks. Tweco® or Dinse-style connectors are available on the CST 280. Six-foot power cable included. Power source is warranted for 3 years, parts and labor. Original main power rectified parts are warranted for 5 years.
