STICK WELDING TIPS Arc welders don't have a button to start the arc. Unlike MIG welders the rod (electrode) will become live as soon as the machine is switched on. The arc is started by touching the electrode momentarily against the work to complete the electrical circuit before raising the electrode to establish the arc.
Page 18
Rods Sticking to the Work If you are new to arc welding you will frequently stick the rod to the work when trying to start the arc. The rod welds itself to the work and it won't be possible to remove it just by pulling.

(welding over slag would cause inclusions in the weld). In the photograph the rod has been bent at the electrode holder to position the holder at a more comfortable angle. It's OK to support the top of the electrode with your spare hand and this improves control of the electrode.

of weave can be used to help control speed and direction. In the video the arc is started with a tap start. The rod quickly becomes shorter as the weld progresses and the motion that can be seen is constant correction to maintain a short arc length.

NOTES AND PREVENTIVE MEASURES 1. Environment 1) The machine should be operated in dry environments. 2) Ambient temperature should be between -10 to 40 degrees centigrade. 3) Avoid welding in high temperature climates. Avoid water damage or water intrusion. 4) Avoid welding in dusty areas or salty water environments where there is a chance of corrosion. 5)...
