8.2
Start a Weld
Once the welder has stabilized at the operating temperature insert the end of the welding
rod into the feed port while simultaneously powering the drill motor (see Figure 8.2). Once
the welding rod has been started it will continue to self-feed as you weld. The welder drill
motor should only be operated when welding rod is being continuously fed into the welder
and
should never be run dry
. Direct the pre-heat nozzle toward the area to be welded.
Pre-warm the welding zone with back-and-forth movements of the welder tip. Position the
welder on the prepared welding zone and operate the drill motor trigger switch.
