Prepara�on for applying manual metal arc welding (MMA/SMAW)
Connect the work clamp (ground) to the piece to be welded. Make sure there is a good electrical
connec�on in the equipment. Remove any rust, paint, or any contamina�on using a wire brush or
polisher (grinder, angle grinder) before connec�ng.
If you use a metal table for welding, you should regularly check the connec�on of the work clamp
(ground) for signs of contamina�on or corrosion. A good ground connec�on is essen�al for good
results in the welding applica�on.
Electrode igni�on
Insert the electrode into the jaw of the electrode holder by pressing the lever on the electrode
holder. Make sure you have proper eye protec�on (face shield) before you start welding.
Note: UV radia�on damage is par�cularly high during arc start.
To start the arc, scratch the electrode over the spot to be welded in a similar way to how a match
is lit. The 80V no-load voltage ignites the electrode quickly, and direct current (DC) allows the
electrode to melt evenly. If you are a beginner do not expect good results on the first a�empt, take
training courses and courses in welding.
