cool. i got one to.

now i will tell you this. if you havent welded before your welds are gonna look like absolute ----.

u wont be able to weld exhaust because u will blow holes.

get used to the settings and also i will give you a tip on those.

ALWAYS notch the 2 pieces your welding for better penetration

start the bead in the middle then join it up on both sides, dont go fast either.

with my electric now i can lay a bitching bead that looks tig'ed i did one on my oilpan yesterday, shiet.

o yeah also. try to cover your arms up.. u will burn em with the UV that comes off the welder.

my whole face got toasted once and it all peeled and ----, very nasty. dont wear goggles! lol

I weld without a shirt all the time. I used to wear a long sleeve shirt when I welded until it looked like a crack addict from all the burn holes. And also when the red burrs would burn through my shirt they were hard to get out and would burn me more. I would highly reccomend an auto dimming lens. They're expensive but very worth it.

I stole mine but I think its something worth paying for. Don't forget to put the plastic shield in front of the lens becuase the sparks will ruin it
