Welds that are exposed to large stresses and must comply with safety requirements may only be completed by specially trained and approved welders. Examples of such welds include pressure vessels, rails, trailer hitches, etc. After SAleS Support 0151 649 1500 1890 946 244 www.einhell.co.uk WZAW 150...

Getting Started Welding preparations Connect the earth terminal (-) (2) direct to the part to be welded or to the support on which the part is resting. Ensure that the earth terminal (-) is in direct contact with the part to be welded. You should therefore avoid coated surfaces and/or insulated materials.
Do not remove the slag until the weld has cooled. If you want to continue a weld after an interruption, the slag from your initial attempt must first be removed. After SAleS Support 0151 649 1500 1890 946 244 www.einhell.co.uk WZAW 150...

If you wish to continue welding a joint after taking a break, the slag at the end of the joint must be removed first. Prime the arc in the joint and melt the electrode at the point where the two joints meet. After SAleS Support 0151 649 1500 1890 946 244 www.einhell.co.uk WZAW 150...

The arc length should be approximately 1 - 1.5 times the diameter of the electrode. The arc length should be kept as constant as possible. Hold the electrode at an angle approximately 70° - 80° to the workpiece. After SAleS Support 0151 649 1500 1890 946 244 www.einhell.co.uk WZAW 150...

Advancement speed too high: Leads to insufficient penetration of the base material, a narrow and high seam and large deposits of slag which can be difficult to remove. After SAleS Support 0151 649 1500 1890 946 244 www.einhell.co.uk WZAW 150...

Working with the correct arc length, advancement speed, current intensity and inclination of the electrode produces a regular cord, a fine mesh and a joint free of porosity and slag inclusions. After SAleS Support 0151 649 1500 1890 946 244 www.einhell.co.uk WZAW 150...
