Drag electrode across workpiece like striking a match; lift electrode slightly after touching work. If arc goes out electrode was lifted to high. If electrode sticks to work- piece, use a quick twist to free it.

Bring electrode straight down to workpiece; then lift slightly to start arc. If arc goes out, electrode was lifted too high. If electrode sticks to workpiece, use a quick twist to free it.
