6010 on a TA 186 inverter?

I got this ThermalArc 186 inverter. I discovered that it runs stick really nice (7018, 6011, 6013). I've heard 6010s are problematic on inverters. I haven't tried it yet but I don't want to spend the money for 6010 if they won't work.
(I have a job that calls for 6010 and I hate to buy 5# of the stuff and find out it wont light up)
Thanks in advance.

Your ThermalArc186 (Fabricator?) has the following stick properties:
Open circuit voltage: 70V
Arc volts: 26V
Adjustable arc force and hot start.
These are all indicators to me that you won't have any problems running 6010 on DC.
Looks like a good power source to me. Enjoy.

I have the 186 and use 6010 3/32 and 1/8 with no problems.

It may run it, but not real good.
I've run a couple similar machines

Read in a few forums that it ran 6010 well
i found the opposite.you cannot whip most 6010 with it.you can whip a 6011
