Based on different welding position, there are different welding joint, see following images for more
information.
3.3 GROUND CLAMP CONNECTION
Clear any dirt, rust, scale, oil or paint on the ground clamp. Make certain you have a good solid ground
connection. A poor connection at the ground clamp will waste power and heat. Make sure the ground
clamp touches the metal.
3.4 ELECTRODE
The welding electrode is a rod coated with a layer of flux. When welding, electrical current flows
between the electrode (rod) and the grounded metal work piece. The intense heat of the arc between
the rod and the grounded metal melts the electrode and the flux. For best performance on this unit, we
suggest the use of 6013 electrodes.
