My Hobart can pull a bit more than your Lincoln (235) and I have it hooked to a 50 amp service in my shed. We ran 6/2 wire for the electrician. As I had no idea what I was doing at first and I never got the advice from our electrician before I bought the materials for the shed electricity, I only had the welder's manual to go by to see what I needed. 50 amp does the trick. No lights dimming around the house, no flipped breakers. Good to go.

answer 2
It does matter. My suggestion would be to put the welder on DC+, and use a multi meter between between the leads. The + one would be the stinger.
Also, the lead with the bare end should be the stinger, the lead with the lug attached should be the ground.

The size of the breaker is 50 amp. The size of the wire is not given due to liability. You will want to check with your local electrician for the wiring.

The Lincoln Electric AC/DC 225 requires a 50 amp breaker, and runs at 230 volts. This would require a generator with a 50 amp breaker, and a minimum of 11,500 watts. See links below for a few we offer.
