its a 220v...obviously my house plugs only put out 110v. can a converter fix this problem??? any other things i can do? someone told me i can make an adapter by taking to regular plugs and making them join as one. so thats two 110v recepticles going to one plug making it 220v. sounds sketchy to me. anyone have an idea what to do besides buying another welder???

just put a 220 in your panel, might already have one you can share off like a dryer, electric stove, A/C, etc..

If you're gonna mess around in the box, make sure the main is off. An "Oooops" is gonna hurt. Or worse.

Or marrying a wannabe supermodel, and realizing that you can't afford a new pair of Manolo Blahnik shoes every week.
