Hello,

How do you get the arc started on that unit? Does it have a pilot arc?

Thanks,Doug

but I realized that I had wired up a dedicated 30A 110 circuit for visiting
RVs and it would actually be more convenient to cut near that outlet.Is there
any reason to go 220 instead of 110 in this case? �All I can figure is
