PROCESSES

Stick (SMAW) Welding

Hobart’s STICKMATE LX 235 AC/160 DC power source lets 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.

The Accu-Set™(patented) design, provides accurate heat control with infinite amperage control. Additionally, STICKMATE LX allows a higher duty cycle when amperage decreases, unlike some competitive products in the market.

Applications:
	Farms	Hobbyists
	Ranches	Maintenance
	Ornamental iron	Individuals
	Garages

Comes Complete with:

15 ft (4.5 m) electrode cable with heavy-duty holder

10 ft (3 m) work cable with clamp

5 ft (1.5 m) primary cable 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 Industrial Warranty	Five-year warranty on transformers, stabilizers and generators; three years on electronics (drive motors, rectifiers);
	and one year on guns (MIG and plasma torches).
