1. Press (and hold) Trigger and contact area to

be welded with electrode wire to ignite arc.

2. For a narrow weld, you can usually draw the wire in

a steady straight line.

This is called a stringer bead.

For a wider weld, draw the wire back and forth

across the joint. This is called a weave bead.

3. Hold Gun in one hand and the face shield

in the other. If a hands-free welding shield

(not included, see Arc Ray Safety Information

on page 3 for guidelines) is used, then

both hands can be used to control Gun.

4. Direct the welding wire straight into the joint.

This gives an angle of 90° (straight up and

down) for butt (end to end) welds, and an

angle of 45° for fillet (T-shaped) welds.

5. The end of Gun should be tilted so that wire

is angled anywhere in-between straight on

and 15° in the direction you are welding. The

amount of tilt is called the drag angle.

6. The welding wire should extend no more than

past the tip.

This distance is called stickout or CTWD

– Contact Tip to Work Distance.
