Can I use a 115v 26 amp welder on a regular outlet?

I have a chance to get a welder for cheap, and I’ve wanted one for a long time. My garage has lighting and some outlets wired up, they are just standard ones but I am unsure of the amperage rating. I know that it does not have it’s own breaker box inside.

The welder is marked for 115v and 26 amps, would I be able to use it on a regular outlet if need be? (I’m in Canada, so ours are 120). It’s not going to be used for super thick metal or anything.
