Intended Use
The Klutch ST200iDV is a dual-input voltage, DC only, inverter stick welder with an exceptionally
smooth stick welding performance. It’s intended for welding steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and
hard surfacing, using electrodes from 1/16 inch to 5/32 inch. This unit can also perform lift start
DC TIG welding on steel and stainless steel materials with the optional TIG Torch #44455*. Argon
shielding gas along with a regulator, gas hose, and TIG filler rod is also required for TIG welding.
Stick welding gives the operator the flexibility to use this welder for mobile applications, including
outdoor applications. Stick electrodes contain a flux, making welding easy and without requiring
the use of a separate shielding gas which can be blown away by the wind, as in other
applications. Since this welder does not use shielding gas, the operator will not be required to
have or maintain shielding gas bottles, a regulator, or gas hose. TIG welding does require the use
of Argon shielding gas. The shielding gas replaces the flux that is used in stick welding, providing
a more controlled and cosmetic weld. However, TIG welding is limited to areas inside or where
wind can be controlled, preventing the shielding gas from blowing away.
This unit is intended to be used on a 50 amp 230V AC circuit or 120V, 20A AC Circuit, without the
use of an extension cord. If an extension cord is necessary for your application, use the
appropriate size and length of extension cord that will handle 50 amps the entire length of the
extension. We highly recommend talking with a qualified electrician for cord size
recommendations. This unit is supplied with a NEMA Class 6-50P plug and will require a NEMA
Class 6-50R receptacle. Do not remove the power plug! Use the supplied 120V adapter when
running off 120V power.
High frequency, inverter-based welding is more efficient and provides better control than non-
inverter welding machines.
