WARNING!
Potential hazard that could result in serious injury or loss of life.
Holding the torch (MIG gun):
Distance from the workpiece:
Tuning in the wire speed:
• When using the welder, experiment holding the torch in different positions while finding a
suitable position.
• If the nozzle is held off the workpiece, the distance between the nozzle and the workpiece
should be kept constant and should not exceed 1/4" (6 mm).
This is one of the most important parts of the MIG welder operation and must be done before
starting each welding job or whenever any of the following variables are changed: heat setting, wire
diameter, or wire type.
1. Connect the ground clamp to a scrap piece of the same type of the material to be welded.
Note: The thickness of the scrap piece should be equal to or greater than the thickness of the actual
workpiece, and free of oil, paint, and rust.
2. Select the heat setting.
3. Hold the torch in one hand, and allow the nozzle to rest on the edge of the workpiece farther
from the user and at an angle similar to that which will be used when welding.
There are two angles of the torch nozzle in relation to the workpiece that must be considered
when welding.
