No, unless you can set it low and can be assured that it wont use more than say 4000watts, the welder might momentarily use more power than what you set it to, it should not wreck the welder i would imagine unless it is a fancy mig welder or something, set the welder low you should be fine but for high end use she should be firing out 8 or 9kw so keep it low if you must.
