There are a number of guidelines to follow:
- The maximum current is 40 A per mm of electrode diameter.
- Gas-shielded welding is permissible.
- Only use welding wires with a thickness of between 1 and 1.2 mm.
- There should be a relation between the thicknesses of the pieces to be welded.

- To avoid melting core damage, the specified distances to the sheet edge must
be maintained:
