8. SETTING THE AMPERAGE CONTROL 

The welder has an infinite current control. It is capable of welding with electrodes up to 3

/32” 

diameter. There is no golden rule that determines the exact amperage required for every situation. It 

is best to practice your welds on scrap metal which matches the metals you intend to work with to 

determine correct setting for your job. The electrode type and the thickness of the work piece metal 

determine the amount of heat needed in the welding process. Heavier and thicker metals require 

more voltage (amperage), whereas lighter and thinner metals require less voltage (amperage). 

Consult the welding electrode packaging for recommended welding amperage range. 

 

9. WELDING TECHNIQUES 

The best way to teach yourself how to weld is with short periods of practice at regular intervals. All 

practice welds should be done on scrap metal that can be discarded. Do not attempt to make any 

repairs on valuable equipment until you have satisfied yourself that your practice welds are of good 

appearance and free of slag or gas inclusions. 

9.1 Holding the electrode 

The best way to grip the electrode holder is the way that feels most comfortable to you. Position the 

Electrode to the work piece when striking the initial arc it may be necessary to hold the electrode 

perpendicular to the work piece. Once the arc is started the angle of the electrode in relation to the 

work piece should be between 10 and 30 degrees. This will allow for good penetration, with minimal 

spatter. 

9.2 Striking the arc 

 

 

EXPOSURE  TO  A  WELDING  ARC  IS  EXTREMELY  HARMFUL  TO  THE  EYES  AND  SKIN! 

Prolonged exposure to the welding arc can cause blindness and burns. Never strike an arc 

or  begin  welding  until  you  are  adequately  protected.  Wear  flame-proof  welding  gloves,  a 

heavy long sleeved shirt, trousers without cuffs, high topped shoes, and an ANSI approved 

welding helmet. 

 

Scratch the work piece with the end of electrode to start arc and then raise it quickly about 1/8 inch 

gap between the rod and the work piece, see following picture 

 

It is important that the gap be maintained during the welding process and it should be neither too 

wide or too narrow. If too narrow, the rod will stick to the work piece. If too wide, the arc will be 

extinguished. It needs much practice to maintain the gap. The beginners may usually get sticker or 

arc extinguishing. When the rod is stuck to the work piece, gently rock it back and forth to make 

them separate. If not, a short circuit will occur and it will break the welder. A good arc is 

accompanied by a crisp, cracking sound. The sound is similar to that made by eggs frying. To lay a 

weld bead, only 2 movements are required; downward (as the electrode is consumed) and in the 

direction the weld is to be laid, as in following figure:
