NOTES:

The values listed are suggested settings. Actual set- ting may vary depending on individual preference and/or specific application. Beginners should use Lincoln E7018 AC.

For electrodes not listed, follow tables that are packed with the electrodes.

Ask for the Lincoln WELD DIRECTORY (Publication M210) for a complete listing of all Lincoln stick elec- trodes available.

Semi-automatic, MIG Welding With a Lincoln Weld Pak 100 or Weld Pak 125

WARNING

ARC RAYS can burn.

• When using an open arc process, it is necessary to use correct eye, head and body protection.

Stick Welding

Stick welding is probably the most familiar welding process known. A coated ELECTRODE, the weld rod, is clamped into an ELECTRODE HOLDER, an insulat- ed clamping device, which in turn connects to the ELECTRODE CABLE, a heavy wire. The WORK, the metal piece to be welded, is connected to the WORK CABLE, a heavy wire which contains the WORK CLAMP. Quality Lincoln cables use many fine copper wires with a very flexible insulating covering for the electrode and work cables. When properly connected to the OUTPUT STUDS of a high current power source, the electrode melts and bonds the metal being repaired. See “Cable Installation” section for proper cable connection to a Power-Arc.

The Power-Arc provides excellent weld output char- acteristics when used in combination with Lincoln AC electrodes. Other AC electrodes may also be used.

Follow the settings listed in Table B.2 “Welding Application Chart” and the “Electrode Selection Guide” found on the nameplate of the machine.

The Power-Arc generator power can be used to supply power to a Lincoln Weld-Pak 100 or Weld-Pak 125 wire feed welder. The Weld-Pak is equipped with all the supplies needed for Flux-Cored Arc Welding (FCAW), and is available where Lincoln products are sold.

A K610-1 MIG Conversion Kit is also available for the Weld-Pak which provides all the essentials needed for Gas Metal Arc Welding, GMAW, or MIG process- es. Contact your local authorized Lincoln representative for more details.

Learning To Stick Weld

The serviceability of a product or structure utilizing this type of information is and must be the sole responsibility of the builder/user. Many variables beyond the control of The Lincoln Electric Company affect the results obtained in applying this type of information. These variables include, but are not limited to, welding procedure, plate chemistry and temperature, weldment design, fabrication methods and service require- ments.
