Welding
WARNING: Using a welder correctly is a technical skill . An incorrectly-used welder can be highly
dangerous. The information below is general guidance only. If you are not entirely confident in your
ability to use this tool safely DO NOT USE .
1 . Move the On/Off Switch (10) into the 'I' position
2 . Hold the Electrode Holder (3) in one hand, and the Face Mask (12) in the other
3. Position the rod at an angle of approximately 80˚ to the surface, with the tip approximately
30mm away from the metal
4 . Hold the Face Mask (12) over your face and tap the rod against the metal
5 . An arc should strike between the metal and the tip . Try to maintain a distance between the
welding rod and the workpiece equivalent to the diameter of the rod. Maintain the arc for one-to-
two seconds, then move the rod away
6 . Allow the weld to cool slightly and move the mask away from your face . If the settings were
correct, a round 'spot' weld should have formed
7 . If the weld has not fully penetrated the metal, increase the current setting . If a hole has been
made in the metal, reduce the current setting
8. Practice making 'spot' welds until you are confident in using the machine and selecting settings
9 . In order to form a 'seam' weld, maintain the arc for longer, and slowly move the rod along the
path of the join. The speed at which the rod is moved is crucial to achieving a good weld
• If the machine settings are correct, the arc should be steady, and should produce a crackling
sound . Be aware that you will have to gradually move the electrode clamp closer to the metal
as the rod is used up
• Once the weld bead is complete, remove excess and splatters using a chipping hammer or wire
brush . Do not attempt to weld over beads unless properly cleaned
• Creating neat, high quality welds is a skill that takes time to master. Practice and good
preparation will help to make satisfactory welds
