Connect t he
work clamp to the piece to be welded,
(to complete
the electrical
circuit)
or to the welding
table
itself
provided
it is metallic
or wilt conduct
electricity!
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
We feel that welding
with your
new Craftsman
dual
range
arc welder
is as simple
as A.B.C.
A. Determine
what
diameter
electrode
should
be
used
by gauging
the piece to be welded
on the
material
thickness
gauge.
The
fractional
number
directly
beneath
the bar chart
dictates
what
the proper
electrode
diameter
is for given
thicknesses
of
metals.
You
will
note
that
a
specific
diameter
of electrodes
can be used on
varying
thicknesses
of
material.
This
is
accomplished
by adjusting
the heat selector,
for
more
or less amperage.
B. Next
verify
the electrode
diameter,
by placing
the
bare
portion
of the electrode
against
the
electrode
diameter
gauge
located
under
the bar
chart.
Because
electrodes
are mass
produced,
there
may
be small
burrs
on the
bare
ends
of the
electrode.
Make
sure the bare end of the rod is
as clean
as possible
for accurate
sizing.
C. Finally,
determine
the type
of electrode
by the
identification
on
the
package
or
by
the
American
Welding
Society
number
stencilled
on the coated
portion
of the electrode,
bearing
in mind the type of electrode
you have chosen
E6013
or
E7014,
and
also
its'
diameter
(as
previously
determined).
Locate
that
band on the amp
scale.
There
are
two
E6013 bands
and two E7014 bands,
use the
band
which
coordinates
with the amp rangeyou
have selected.
