OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
We feel that welding with your new Craftsman dual
range arc welder is as simple as A.B.C.
A. Determine what diameter electrode should be
used by gauging the piece to be welded on the
material thickness gauge. The fractional
number directly beneath the bar chart dictates
what the proper electrode diameter is for given
thicknesses of metals. You will note that a
specific diameter of electrodes can be used on
varying thicknesses of material. This is
accomplished by adjusting the heat selector, for
more or less amperage.
B. Next verify the electrode diameter, by placing
the bare portion of the electrode against the
electrode diameter gauge located under the bar
chart.
Because electrodes are mass produced, there
may be small burrs on the bare ends of the
electrode. Make sure the bare end of the rod is
as clean as possible for accurate sizing.
C. Finally, determine the type of electrode by the
identification on the package or by the
American Welding Society number stencilled
on the coated portion of the electrode, bearing
in mind the type of electrode you have chosen
E6013 or E7014, and also its' diameter (as
previously determined).
Locate that band on the amp scale. There are
two E6013 bands and two E7014 bands, use the
band which coordinates with the amp rangeyou
have selected.
