can i run my welder off a generator.
i have got no idea never had any thing to do with them before.
im guessing i need one that has a 15 amp out put as my welder has a 15 amp plug or can i just get a new power point.

That generator should be fine but the welder only has a 10 minute duty cycle meaning that at full load it is only good for 10 minutes every hour.
Something to think about.
