How it works and what it is for
The PARKSIDE® Inverter welder PISG 120 D5 operates from a 230 V mains supply and generates direct welding current suitable for coated electrodes. The electrode is placed in the electrode holder, while the earth clamp is attached to the workpiece. The electric arc melts the filler metal and the workpiece to create joints or repairs on compatible metals.
