INTENDED USE
The Flux Core 125 is a wire feed welder for use with flux core wire only. It is intended for use for
welding mild steel only. This unit does NOT have a retrofit kit to allow the eventual connection of
shielding gas for MIG welding.
Welding with flux core wire gives the operator the flexibility to use this wire feed welder for
mobile applications, including outdoor applications. Flux core wire does not require the use of a
separate shielding gas which can be blown away by the wind in outdoor applications. Since this
welder does not use shielding gas, the operator will not require to have or maintain shielding
gas bottles, a regulator or gas hose.
This unit is intended to be used on a 20 amp 115V AC circuit without the use of an extension
cord. If an extension cord is necessary for your application, please use the appropriate size and
length of extension cord that will handle 20 amps the entire length of the extension. We highly
recommend talking with a qualified electrician for cord size recommendations.
