MAKING THE WELD
The weld is made by feeding the
electrode into the molten pool
and at the same time move the
electrode along the joint at a 30
to 40 angle at a speed needed to
deposit the required size of weld.

BEGINNERS
The easiest welding method for beginners
is known as
“Touch Welding”
. This weld-
ing method is performed by lightly resting
the electrode on the work piece and draw-
ing it away slightly while welding at a 40
angle towards the direction of travel.. Refer
the pictures to the left. This forms only a
short arc. This will flatten and widen the
welding bead.
