Look up Manual to get answer

Copy the Serial Number from the Machine and do a USER MANUAL Search. You should be able to find the answer your looking for. Have a MM200 that had a 50ft. 8/3 SOJW (Rubber Neoprene) cable on it when it was first purchased. Was in a 40'x80' building then; now in a 30'x40' building and welding in one spot most of the time. It now has a 12' 8/3 SDT (Sunlight, Direct Burial, Tray Cable, NO CONDUIT REQUIRED) cable on it. I have #6 to the wall plug from the breaker panel. I still have 44' of that original 50' cable, now its setup as an extension cord, if needed.

Yes you can put that cord on your MM252.
