There isn't much more info in the manual, so I'd assume at 20A breaker is correct, 80% is 16A. What ends are on the "cord" of that thing what is the AWG of the cord?
No plug is on the cord.
As a kid I was shocked by 120v 15amp for a brief moment. I did not realize the light bulb outlet was energized. I still remember feeling the voltage run down my arm.You got more guts than me. No way would I hang onto a product from Harbor freight that needed 240V.
upon further digging it indeed appears to come from the factory with no plug. strange
Safer that way!
Ok, Then what is the wiring you provided for the receptacle this would plug into?
I have a dedicated 8/2 romex line that I can use. It will be oversized for the breaker if I use 20 amps.
i scanned the same doc, provided by hazard fraught tools, but mustve missed that blip
Sorry to hi-jack Op, but is the unit any good Cobbler? Done any galvanized sheet metal with it?
to be honest I bought it at a discounted price as a return a few years ago with big intentions. to date I've not used it but I do have an upcoming project ( galvanized) that I intend to give it a try .
Be sure to have good ventilation. Zinc oxide fumes are toxic.
I agree. 1/8"/10 ga. CRS would be better. Galvanized has zinc and will gas off into your air/food as mentioned. Sheetmetal will burn through quickly as it oxidizes.
Since it didn't kill you the first time, give it second try?? Yikes!
Just b/c he made it through the first time, doesn't mean he should go play in traffic again.Advice 40-50 years late is super helpful

curious, why did you ask the question originally?
I asked b/c I've been considered getting a spot welder for sheet metal. Right now I have a bunch of G90 sheet metal. If I continue to play around, I'll probably continue with G90 unless painting, etc. and then maybe just uncoated steel.curious, why did you ask the question originally?
Galvanizing needs to hit something like 1700 degrees before it'd a safety issue. Yes for welding but it would have to be directly in contact with a flame or coal to be a problem
The line will only have one outlet. When the spot welder is not used I will plug in the air compressor. Any concerns about using a pigtail with the 6-20r?
If made up right, no.
I would have the pigtail in the junction box.
that's the only option.
How big is this box? Even a 2 gang is probably going to be tight
