Start A Weld - Demtech Pro-X5 600-0105/X5/A Operator's Manual

Rev. A: January 2015

7.2. Start a weld

Once the welder has stabilized at the operating temperature, insert the end of the welding rod
into the feed port while simultaneously powering the drill motor (see Figure 7.2). Once the
welding rod has been started, it will continue to self-feed as you weld. The welder drill motor
should only be operated when welding rod is being continuously fed into the welder and should
never be run dry. Direct the Pre-Heat nozzle toward the area to be welded. Pre-warm the
welding zone with back-and-forth movements of the welder tip. Position the welder on the
prepared welding zone and operate the drill motor trigger switch.
