OWNER’S MANUAL
A Word for Beginners
For those who have not yet done any welding, the simplest way
to commence is to run beads on a piece of scrap plate. Use mild
steel plate about 6.0mm thick and a 3.2mm electrode.
Clean any paint, loose scale or grease off the plate and set it
firmly on the work bench so that welding can be carried out in
the down hand position. Make sure that the Work Lead/Clamp is
making good electrical contact with the work, either directly or
through the work table. For light gauge material, always clamp the
work lead directly to the job, otherwise a poor circuit will probably
result.
The Welder
Place yourself in a comfortable position before beginning to weld.
Get a seat of suitable height and do as much work as possible
sitting down. Don’t hold your body tense. A taut attitude of mind
and a tensed body will soon make you feel tired. Relax and you
will find that the job becomes much easier. You can add much to
your peace of mind by wearing a leather apron and gauntlets.
You won’t be worrying then about being burnt or sparks setting
alight to your clothes.
Place the work so that the direction of welding is across, rather
than to or from, your body. The electrode holder lead should be
clear of any obstruction so that you can move your arm freely
along as the electrode burns down. If the lead is slung over your
shoulder, it allows greater freedom of movement and takes a lot
of weight off your hand. Be sure the insulation on your cable and
electrode holder is not faulty; otherwise you are risking an electric
shock.
