Altitude level < 1000 m Keep the distance between the machine and walls above 20 cm. Keep the distance between two machines above 30 cm.
  • Page 21 Shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) Shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), also known as manual metal arc welding (MMA), flux-shielded arc welding or, informally, electrode welding, is a manual arc welding process that uses a consumable flux-coated electrode for welding. Electric current, either alternating or direct current from a welding power source, is used to form an electric arc between the electrode and the metals to be joined.
