Connection of Output Cables:
Various electrodes require a different polarity for optimum results
refer to the electrode manufacturers information for the correct polarity. Most GP electrodes are
Electrode connected to output socket, Earth Connected to the output socket
(2)
Connect the machine to the power supply and switch on using the on/off switch on the back panel.
(3)
Set the welding current relevant to the electrode type and size being used as recommended by the
electrode manufacturer.
(4)
Place the electrode into the electrode holder and clamp tight
(5)
Strike the electrode on the work to create the arc and hold the electrode steady to maintain the arc
(6)
Hold the electrode slightly above the work piece to maintain the arc while travelling at an even speed
to create and even weld deposition
(7)
To finish the weld, break the arc by quickly snapping the electrode away from the work piece.
(8)
Wait for the weld to cool and carefully chip away the slag to reveal the weld metal underneath
