PROMTS 252i WELDING WIRES Shielding gas- C02 or 75%Argon/25% CO2 is recommended and will give you deeper penetration Solid 75%Argon/25% will give you less splatter and a nicer Carbon-Steel lookingbead ER70S-6 Should be used indoors, where wind cannot harm you weld.

PROMTS 252i • Fill the crater at the end of the weld to avoid a crack. One way to do this is to dwell in the weld pool for a second at the end of the weld. STICK Welding Tips and Tricks (Also known as MMA-Manual Metal Arc or Shielded Metal Arc Welding-SMAW) Connect the Stick torch to the - terminal and Torch Control receptacles.

PROMTS 252i flux and bare metal meet. A welding rod must have flux to shield the weld from the atmosphere or the weld will fail. 4. Use the Current control to change arc qualities. Adjust the amperage according to the recommendations of the electrode (welding rod) manufacturer for the type and size of the electrode used.

PROMTS 252i washing of the weld bead into the sides or “toes” of the weld is important. Keep the welding electrode or the TIG tungsten and welding arc within the weld joint to prevent overlap. Pausing on the sides of the welds to wait for the sides to fill reduces the chance of undercutting, even if the current is a little too high.
