115V Wire Feed Welder
MIG Ready
115 Volt
With Built-in Gas Valve
he Handler 125 is a rugged constant-voltage
DC welder with built-in wire feeder, that operates
off 115-volt household current. It comes ready to
weld, without shielding gas, using .030 –.035 in.
(0.8 – 0.9 mm) self-shielding flux-cored wire.
This is a great unit for outdoor applications when
shielding gas could be blown away. Welds up to
3/16 in. steel with flux-cored wire.
T
This welder is equipped with a built-in gas valve,
and with the addition of a regulator and shielding
gas, you’re ready to MIG weld with .023 –.030 in.
(0.6–0.8 mm) solid wire. Use C-25 gas (75% Argon/
25% CO2) on 24 gauge – 1/8 in. steel for a cleaner
weld with less spatter. Use Tri-Mix gas and stainless
wire for welding on 16 –12 ga. stainless steel.
