D. Trim the Welding Wire
Trim the welding wire so that it protrudes no more than 5mm from the end of the
contact tip.
E. Attach the Earth Clamp
Attach the earth clamp to the workpiece, as close to the point of weld as possible,
without it being intrusive.
Again, as with the ‘welding point of contact’, the earth clamp MUST be attached
to CLEAN BARE METAL. Any coating, plating or corrosion MUST be removed,
otherwise a good weld will be impossible to achieve.
Your welder is now fully prepared for welding.
The 10-position wire speed control should be set to 6 to begin with, then adjusted as
required. (See notes under ‘Operation).
