6.  DISTANCE  FROM  THE  WORK  PIECE  -  If  the  nozzle  is  held  off  the  work  piece,  the  distance 

between the nozzle and the work piece should be kept constant and should not exceed 1/4 inch or 

the arc may begin sputtering, signaling a loss in welding performance. 

7. TUNING IN THE WIRE SPEED - This is one of the most important parts of wire welder operation 

and must be done before starting each welding job or whenever the voltage setting or wire diameter 

is changed. 

 

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. 

7.1  Connect  the  Ground  Clamp  to  a  scrap  piece  of  the  same  type  of  material  which  you  will  be 

welding. It should be equal to or greater than the thickness of the actual work piece, and free of oil, 

paint, rust, etc. 

7.2  Select a heat setting. 

7.3   Hold the torch in one hand. Hold the wire just off the work piece. (See HOLDING THE TORCH 

section if you are uncertain of the angle at which you will be welding.) 

7.4   Set the wire feed speed based on the thickness of  material and the set-up chart  on the back 

side of the wire feeder door. 

7.5  Lower  your  welding  helmet.  Pull  the  trigger  on  the  torch  and  let  the  wire  feed  into  the  work 

piece to start an arc. Then begin to drag the torch toward you.   

7.6  LISTEN!  If  the  arc  is  sputtering,  increase  the  wire  speed  slightly  and  try  again.  Continue 

increasing the wire speed adjustment until you achieve a smooth buzzing sound. If the wire seems 

to  "pound"  into  the  work  piece,  decrease  wire  speed  slightly  and  try  again.  Use  the  wire  speed 

control  to  slightly  increase  or  decrease  the  heat  and  penetration  for  a  given  voltage  setting  by 

increasing or decreasing the wire speed slightly. Repeat this tune-in procedure if you select a new 

voltage setting, a different wire diameter, or a different roll of wire.

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
