don't get this bit of the spec, to me that says the output is 140amps at a 20% duty cycle, not 195amps, and why the current range is an 'input' I don't know either yet the table is for a mig-195...eh?

Current Range Input DC(A) 60-180
Max Current Output DC 140@20%

Sounds a bargain but doesnt look like its got a great deal of choice in power settings but there again neither have Clarkes range for more money than that.
Cheers,

Its a fluxed wire jobbie, OK for repair work on farms etc, but not for anything structural

Minimum power is way too high.

I had one.

Sold it for £1.

It just needs a regulator and gas hose to used none cored wire, which isn't expensive.

You will not be able to run this at full power from a 13 Amp socket, it'll blow the fuse.
