Operating Procedures - Lincoln Electric INNERSHIELD Series Welding Instruction Manual

OPERATING PROCEDURES

The suggested operating parameters listed in this publication are
not intended to serve as specific procedures for any application.
These suggested procedures represent the approximates the
procedure range of each individual electrode.
Arc voltage and/or wire feed speed may need to be adjusted
depending upon welding position, type of weld, base steel surface
condition or other factors. In general, use the highest voltage
possible consistent with porosity-free welds.
CTWD is measured from the work surface to the contact tip.
Maintain this length within ±1/8" (3.2mm.) for CTWD ≤1" (25 mm)
or within ±1/4" ( 6.4 mm) for CTWD >1" (25 mm) during welding.
Contact your Authorized Lincoln Distributor or your local Lincoln
Representative for specific procedures and techniques.
