it will look like a house plug, but much bigger with prongs that are 1-7/16" L with one round, and two flat ones. One of the round ones is 5/16" W and the other one is 1/2" W.

2 vertical pins, one wider, and the round ground between and below the 2. A 50 amp "Grounding Surface Mount Receptacle" will work.

answer 1

The leads on this machine are connected right to the transformer. A person could extend the current leads by splicing longer leads onto it. I do know that others have done this with success. However, that would require cutting the current leads and would void any warranty.

answer 2

You can, and I did but you have to cut the leads that are on it, install two terminal blocks, then put on the new leads. The OEM leads are connected straight to the wires coming out of the tramsformer!

This is a basic stick welder. It does not have a generator feature and would need to be used in close proximity to an electrical power source. We do offer a welder/ generator that runs on gasoline and includes two 120v receptacles. See Below.
