If anything catches on fire put it out before it becomes a problem. It will probably kill the grass if you do a lot of cutting in one spot.
>>2886456It's just green grass. Spray some water before and after you cut or cut on cement or get a fire blanket.

on another note. i'm stuck with the standard 3680 watt eurocuck outlet, sould i get an electrician to install a stronger circuit in my house or would it be cheaper to just buy a generator?
>>2886585for what?
>>2886587welding and air compressors mainly
>>2886591run what you got until you need more. 11a of 240 will run most inverter welders at a level sufficient for average home welding
>>2886456Sparks? Not.It's the molten steel that drips down that you need to be aware of, as it will burn anything it lands on.
>>2886585Its usually enough, unless youve got a really big welder. 3-phase installation should be relatively easy though, in general all 3 phases are connected to your electrical cabinet, unless you've got a really old house or live in a ghetto.
>>2886654does 1950's count as ''really old''?
>>2886456I was doing some welding over dry grass. It WILL catch fire at some point and that's why I prepared a piece of plywood to beat out any fires. Also don't wear any kind of respirator except the cheap paper masks that don't block chemicals. If you wear a chemical blocking respirator (painting respirator) you won't smell the smoke until it's too late.I didn't have a running water supply up there, but if you do, just spray the area down first and then nothing will catch fire.

>>2886456some people say there are no stupid questions. OP always delivers.
>>2886657My previous home was from the 50s; switchboard was something like picrel, marble backplate included. The water heater also was connected to a never seen before french socket, with grounding pin on the socket, instead of the plug.
