I imagine it has some resistance against the ground, I haven't measured it. The welder only receives one signal cable, the output of R1, and the welder provides the 20V DC and the ground. Whatever the voltage (or resistance) it measures is what makes it set the welding current. It's the same operation as any other case of a pot hooked up to control something indirectly.
Pic related is what it looks like in practice, there's no physical 1k resistor between ground and welder input within the foot pedal.
