5.0 SET-UP FOR BASIC STICK (SMAW) AND TIG (GTAW) WELDING
Conventional operating procedures apply when using the Welding Power Source, i.e. connect
work lead directly to work piece and electrode lead is used to hold electrode. Wide safety
margins provided by the coil design ensure that the Welding Power Source will withstand
short-term overload without adverse effects. The welding current range values should be used
as a guide only. Welding current delivered to the arc is dependent on the welding arc voltage,
and as welding arc voltage varies between different classes of electrodes, welding current at
any one setting would vary according to the type of electrode in use. The operator should use
the welding current range values as a guide, then finally adjust the current setting to suit the
application.
