The robust build and IP21S rating ensure reliable performance in workshop environments.

Ideal use cases

• Automotive body repair and restoration
• General fabrication and metalworking
• Maintenance and repair of agricultural equipment
• Light industrial production and prototyping
• DIY projects and home workshops

Good to know

The welder operates on a standard 230V single-phase supply, making it compatible with most residential and commercial outlets. It accepts both solid and flux-cored wires, and the 2-roll feeder ensures smooth wire feeding. The fan cooling system prevents overheating during continuous use. For optimal performance, use a dedicated circuit and follow the manufacturer's guidelines for electrode and wire selection.
