How we checked

CORRECTED FROM SEED: the seed name 'CUT-55DS' is superseded in YesWelder's current catalog by the 'CUT-55DS PLUS' (HF pilot-arc start, listed on yeswelder.com under the same 55A dual-voltage product line, alongside a separate non-HF 'CUT-55NHF PLUS' variant); corrected to the currently sold PLUS SKU. YesWelder's own product page confirms 20-55A output (30A cap on 120V), dual-voltage 110V/220V ±10% input, HF pilot-arc starting, 14.48 lb weight, and the full clean/severance cut and duty-cycle tables at both voltages.
