13.Turn the Power Switch (1C) to its “OFF” position. Clamp the bare end of the selected electrode in the electrode holder.
Electrode | Penetration | Attributes |
| Shallow | For cast Iron |
308L | Shallow | For stainless steel |
6011 | Deep | Little preparation needed, high spatter |
6013 | Shallow | All purpose |
7014 | Moderate | Easy to use, quick |
7018 | Shallow | Creates stronger welds |
7024 | Shallow | For flat/fillet welds, easy to use, quick |
14.To prevent fire or electric shock:
Trim all welding wire off the end of the Welding Gun (20A). Insulate the MIG Welding Gun (20A) wrapping it in electrical tape so that an arc is not acciden- tally ignited. Coil Welding Gun cable up away from all conductive objects.
15.While holding the Electrode Holder (21A), with the electrode clearly out of the way of any grounded objects, turn the Power Switch (1C) to its “ON” position.
16.Orient yourself on the area to be welded, then place a Face Shield over your eyes.

18.Starting a weld arc (for stick (arc) welding only):
There are two usual methods to ignite an arc when stick welding: scratch or tap.
•Scratch – stroke the Electrode across work piece like striking a match, then lift electrode slightly.
•Tap – Bring electrode straight down against workpiece and then back up slight- ly.
If either of these methods are done properly, an arc is ignited.
If the arc goes out, the electrode was lifted too far from the workpiece.
