MIG OPERATION
1. POWER SWITCH - The power switch supplies electrical current to the welder. Whenever the
power switch is in the ON position, the welding circuit is activated. ALWAYS turn the power
switch to the OFF position and unplug the welder before performing any maintenance.
2. HOLDING THE TORCH - The best way to hold the welding torch is the way it feels most
comfortable to you. While practicing using your new welder, experiment holding the torch in
different positions until you find the one that seems to work best for you.
3. POSITION OF THE TORCH TO THE WORK PIECE - There are two angles of the torch nozzle
in relation to the work piece that must be consider when welding.
a. Angle A can be varied, but in most cases the optimum angle will be 60 degrees, the
point at which the torch angle is parallel to the work piece. If angle A is increased,
penetration will increase. If angle A is decreased, penetration will decrease also.
b. Angle B can be varied for two reasons: to improve the availability to see the arc in
relation to the weld puddle and to direct the force of the arc.
c. 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
