Handling with the torch
Correct torch holding and guidance have a significant effect on the weld quality and appe-
arance. The picture No. 5 is for your orientation. The distance between electric contact noz-
zle and the weld place should be the shortest and should not exceed 12 mm.
There are two basic possibilities concerning to movement direction of the torch:
- welding against weld direction (moving in direction of the torch declination)
- welding in weld direction (moving against direction of the torch declination)
The effect of the movement you can see in the following table.
