14-2. Holding And Positioning Welding Gun

.
Welding wire is energized when gun trigger is pressed. Before lowering helmet and pressing trigger, be sure wire is no more than 1/2 in (13 mm)
past end of nozzle, and tip of wire is positioned correctly on seam.

!
Weld current can damage
electronic parts in vehicles.
Disconnect both battery
cables before welding on a
vehicle. Place work clamp as
close to the weld as possible.
Voltage sensing wire feeders are
used with constant current (CC) or
constant voltage (CV) power
sources (14 pin receptacle not re-
quired).
If using a CC or CV welding power
source without a weld output con-
tactor, use optional secondary con-
tactor.
For GMAW, use optional gas valve.
