PARKSIDE® Inverter Welder PISG 120 D5

Technical overview
The PARKSIDE® Inverter Welder PISG 120 D5 is a compact manual arc welding unit designed for electrode welding on common ferrous metals. It uses inverter technology to provide stable current control in a portable format, with adjustable welding output, integrated cooling and thermal protection for light repair, maintenance and fabrication tasks.

Key features
▸ Compact inverter design for manual metal arc welding
▸ Adjustable welding current from 10 to 120 A
▸ Suitable for electrodes from 1.6 to 2.5 mm
▸ Designed for material thicknesses of about 1.5 to 3.0 mm
▸ Integrated cooling fan for temperature control
▸ Thermal warning indicator for operating safety
▸ Portable construction with carrying strap
▸ Supplied with basic welding accessories

How it works and what it is for
The PARKSIDE® Inverter Welder PISG 120 D5 creates an electric arc between the coated electrode and the workpiece. The heat generated by the arc melts the metal locally so that, after cooling, a permanent joint is formed. This type of machine is intended for small steel repairs, basic joining work, light workshop tasks and occasional fabrication where a compact electrode welder is sufficient.
