2.5 EXTENSION CORD USE For optimum welder performance, an extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. If necessary, care must be taken in selecting an extension cord appropriate for use with your specific welder . Select a properly grounded extension cord that will mate the ac power cord of the welder with the ac power source receptacle directly, without the use of adapters. Make sure the extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. For an extensi

During the welding, the work pieces will become hot and will tend to expand. The expansion may cause the pieces to shift from the regular position. If possible, the work pieces should be clamped into the position they are to occupy when the welding is completed. 4.3 Selecting The Proper Electrode The welding electrode is a rod, or wire, of electrically conductive metal, coated with a layer of flux. When welding, electrical current flows between the electrode (rod) and the grounded metal

Low vs High Voltage Welding Electrodes Make certain you have the best electrode for the welding job you intend to do. electrode manufacturers make most of the standard welding electrodes in two basic types. One type has been designed to run on welders with high Open circuit Voltage. The other type electrode is designed to run on welders with low Open circuit Voltage. Most of your welding will probably be done with low open circuit voltage ac rods such as E-6013 or E-7014 general purpose r

Striking a proper arc and maintaining the gap between the electrode and the base metal takes practice. a beginner may expect to extinguish any number of arcs and freeze more than a few electrodes before acquiring the necessary skill. Knowing when the arc is just right is a matter of experience. a crisp, cracking sound, accompanies a good arc. The sound is similar to that made by eggs frying. To lay a weld bead, only 2 movements are required; downward and in the direction the weld is to be
