Hey Guys finally picked up my Green Monster Today At Everlast...I met Duncan and his Wife...was great dealing with them....and walked out with this baby

Now I'm a little confused about the US models and Canadian models...And I can't find the manual for this specific 210EXT the only thing close to it is the 255EXT <<
are these the same units..??? and can i use that...also noticed only when i got home is the stick welder thingy the black cap in the front where you put the rod in is cracked will this hamper anything...`I don't want to bother Duncan if its not going affect anything..you will see in the pics...and the un-boxing from my suv to my table.

ALSO in the box of acc there is 2 torches 1 WP9 and a WP26...is this normal...?

Hey, Merry Late Christmas! Welcome, John, and congrats on the new machine!

You may want to call Duncan or PM him on this forum, if only to ask about the manual. You have the updated version of the 210EXT, and the manual on the Everlast download page is for the earlier machine and it looks like the functions are different. I'm a little surprised the manual was not in the box. You could ask him about the electrode holder since you're on the line anyway.

The 210 is similar to the 255; the 255 ships with an air cooled torch and a water cooled torch. At first I thought you received the accessory package for the 255 but the wp9 and the wp26 are both air cooled. I don't know if the newer 210 ships with two air cooled torches or not. No harm in contacting Duncan to follow up with questions.

This is not the 2014 US version of the 210 (and am not sure that this will be a long term version of the 210ext for Canada), but the 210ext you see here is essentially the same as the 255ext in operation and you can download the manual on the 255ext for the instructions.

I'm confused... This front panel is different than the original 210 control panel, but you say it's not the new version. What is it, then? Is the 255 control panel being used for a Canada version of the 210?

Finding myself in the market for a 210 once again, I want to be as educated as possible this time around.

Cheers,
Richard

It's an intermediate 210unit, one that will not be available in the US. The new US version 210 ext will only have 3 wave forms, deleting the sine wave, but preserving the triangular wave form. Easy startup modes are not supposed to be available. This is to separate the units in features and offerings and keep them more distant in pricing, otherwise the pricing is just too close together between the 210 and 255 with the same features.

It will be confusing with the same name. I thought it was a great idea to change the 250EXT to the 255EXT so it was clear what version you are talking about. Maybe if Everlast CA keeps that model it should be renamed like 215EXT or 210EXTCA. But the horse has sorta left the barn on that one. Canada and the US have not always shared the exact same lineup. Australia also has their own models, but most have different model numbers so it's easy to tell them apart.
