This welder boasts outstanding arc stability, with low spatter and a deep weld bath. The package includes: 1 HONE brand DC stick welder, 1 set of electrode holder with welding cable and cable joint (9.5 ft/2.9 m), 1 set of earth clamp with welding cable and cable joint (9.5 ft/2.9 m), 1 adapter cord (14AWG/3C/19.7 inch/0.5 m), 1 steel brush (7.2 inch/183 mm), and 1 user manual.

The real-world parameters are as follows: - Power Supply: AC110V (90 ~ 140V) / AC220V (170 ~ 250V) - Rated Input Current (A): 39A (110V) / 28A (220V) - No Load Voltage: 85±5V - Welding Current (A): 10 ~ 120A (110V) / 10 ~ 140A (220V) - Duty Cycle (%): 25%120A (110V) / 30%140A (220V) - Electrode Diameter: 1/16 inch ~ 1/8 inch (1.6mm ~ 3.2mm) - Electrode Type: AWS E6013, E7018, E6011, E6010, E308 etc. - Protection Grade: IP21S - Insulation Grade: H

The minimum workpiece thickness that can be welded is 1/32 inch (0.8mm) with a 1/16 inch (1.6mm) welding rod and 18 Amp current. The maximum workpiece thickness is 3/8 inch (9.5mm) with a 1/8 inch (3.2mm) welding rod and 140 Amp current.

The built-in MCU automatically controls the hot-start, arc-force, and anti-stick functions based on the welding state, allowing for smoother and easier welding. The welder also features a convenient Velcro strap for securing the power cord after use.

The high no-load voltage of 85±5V makes it suitable for handling E6010 cellulose electrodes, and the arc striking is easier, making it ideal for AWS E6011, E7018, E6013, E308, and other electrodes.

The welding results are full, flat, deeply penetrated, and with low spatter, making this an ideal stick welder for household and small workshop use. The long 9.5 ft + 9.5 ft welding cables allow for a wide range of welding projects, such as garden fences, room roofs, bicycles, iron gates, and metal shelves, on mild steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, and cast iron.

Safety precautions are essential, including wearing eye, ear, and body protection equipment, insulating oneself from the welding machine and ground, and ensuring proper ventilation to remove fumes from the breathing zone.
