Almost got hurt today. PSA

I looked at the welder again today. I was wrong. Its 40 amps on the settings not 40 amps draw.

It's a 50 amp cord with a 20 amp pigtail.

We tested it again with the 220 cord off his MIG. about 2 min and that cord was melting. To rule out his 50 amp circuit we switched the machine over to 110 and put the 110 cord on and it instantly melted that one also so we took the machine in and dropped it off. Lincoln. Is gonna warranty it. We also gave them the 3 burned cords.

They wont pick it up till next Thursday so it will be a while before we hear what the problem is.
