Arc wanders.
Tungsten incorrect or in poor condition.
Check that correct type of tungsten is being used. Remove
tungsten 3/4" from the weld end and re-sharpen the
tungsten.
Insufficient gas shielding.
Check and set the gas flow between 20-30 CFH flow rate.
Contaminated gas or leaks in gas line,
torch, or connections.
Check gas line & connections.
Poorly prepared tungsten.

grees based on the type of metal, joint design and penetra-
tion you desire. Standard is 30 degrees.
