With disconnected LN-8 or LN-9 wire feeders, set the inch speed for the 
slow rate. If the arc flutters on and off, increase the inch speed. If inch 
speed is too fast, the wire will tend to stick on starting.

Position  the  gun  over  the  joint  as  described  under “Gun  Operating  
Positions”. Allow the mound of flux to form. Press the trigger and touch 
the electrode to the work by lightly scratching through the flux.

If the electrode hits the work, pushing the gun up without starting the 
arc, immediately release the trigger, raise the gun, and turn the nozzle 
up. Be sure the work lead makes a good connection and the work is 
clean at the starting point. Clip the electrode end and try again.
