If you got a decent mig, that info should be on the welder itself.
The side panel where you change the wire?

need more info...110 or 220 volt? what wire size? i'll tell ya what i know from experience...being a certified welder....the settings depend on how you weld, and what youre comfortable with. get some scrap and try it out with differnet settings. on 1/8th inch material since im skilled i cold run hot as hell and fast (26volts and 5-600 on the wire speed. but if youre new..try 19 volts and 2-300 on the wire. thats runnin a 220 miller machine. since youre new start with lower settings and work your way up...keep in mind if you weld too hot youre gonna warp your material. hope that helps.

thanks alot.. that's what i needed 2 know

yes it's a 220 volt

i've been runnin about 20v and about 350 to 400 line speed.. it's been workin ok for me.. doesn't warp the metal.. burns through it ok.. i was just wonderin if this is a good setting.. thanks again :D

Since when did Hobart come out with a 220V 135 mig? Never seen one....

[toy4x4]

it's not my welding machine so i'm not for sure what it is but for some reason i remember it being a hobart.. might be miller or lincoln or whatever but i know it's a 220v 135

yup, the Hobart 135 is 110v
