Preparation for applying manual metal arc welding (MMA/SMAW).
Connect the work clamp (ground) to the piece to be welded. Make sure there is a good
electrical connection in the machine. Remove any rust, paint, or any contamination using
a wire brush or polisher (grinder, angle grinder) before connecting.
If you use a metal table for welding you should regularly check the connection of the work
clamp (ground) for signs of contamination or corrosion. A good ground connection is
essential for good results in the welding application.
Electrode ignition
Insert the electrode into the jaw of the electrode holder by pressing the lever on the
electrode holder. Make sure you have proper eye protection (face shield) before you start
welding.
Note: UV radiation damage is particularly high during arc start.
To start the arc, scratch the electrode over the spot to be welded in a similar way to how
a match is lit. The 80V no-load voltage ignites the electrode quickly, and direct current
(DC) allows the electrode to melt evenly. If you are a beginner do not expect good results
on the first attempt, take training courses and courses in welding.
