draw=pull method?? Never taught that always a push from right-left using a dab technique or walk the cup and or wire.. The only reason to pull in TIG is for TI where you have to "backhand" it..
as to answer the question No it would not be adviasable to weld that with what you have there. it just is not safe..
I use to have a hobart handler that was 110v and that used 75-25, argon- co2 with .023 hard/soilid wire and that was more up to the task of what you need to do. but what I find with the cheapies that most often are owned by hobbiest have no place doing what they do with them
90% of all broken welds are broken because of 2 things
1st the operater error
2nd the weld was not "hot enough" or in the case of "MIG" welding the volatge could be to high with the wire speed not high enough causing for incomplete fusion. this can also be caused with to high wire speed and not high enough volatge(potential heat/amperage)
anyhow thats the welding teacher in me sorry..
