Lincoln Electric K2697-1 Flux-core Mig Welder 115V

Product Description

The LINCOLN ELECTRIC K2697-1 is a single-phase, DC flux-core and MIG welder designed for light industrial and professional trade use. It operates on 115V input power and delivers an output range of 30 to 140 amps, giving welders the flexibility to work on a variety of metal thicknesses. The machine is rated at 90A/19V at a 20% duty cycle, which is a standard specification for portable welders in this class. At 62 pounds and measuring 20 x 15 x 16 inches, it is a portable but substantial unit suited for shop benches, job sites, and service vehicles where a 115V outlet is available.

This welder is well suited for residential fabrication, light commercial maintenance work, and field repair tasks where a standard 115V power supply is the only available source. Its dual-process capability — flux-core and MIG — makes it a practical choice for welders who need to work with or without shielding gas depending on the job. HVAC contractors, plumbers, and general maintenance technicians who perform metal fabrication or pipe tacking will find the wide amperage range useful across mild steel and sheet metal applications.

Key Features

• Dual-process capability: runs flux-core wire and MIG (gas-shielded) processes
• Output range of 30 to 140 amps for versatility across metal gauges
• Operates on standard 115V single-phase power — no dedicated high-voltage circuit required
• DC output for stable arc performance on both processes
• Rated at 90A/19V at 20% duty cycle
• Compact footprint at 20 x 15 x 16 inches for shop or job-site placement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style portable MIG and flux-core welder for use on standard 115V single-phase circuits in residential and light commercial applications.

Installation Notes

This welder should be installed and operated by a qualified welding professional familiar with NFPA 51B and applicable local codes for welding and cutting operations. Before connecting or servicing the unit, ensure the power supply circuit is de-energized and rated appropriately for the amperage draw. Do not exceed the rated duty cycle — allow adequate cooling time between weld sequences to prevent thermal overload. Verify that the work area is clear of flammable materials and that proper ventilation is in place before operation.
