How to Use an Arc Welder
Using an arc welder requires a level of skill. Below, we’ve put together a basic guide on how to use an arc welder:
- Choose the appropriate welding rod for your project - this will depend on the type of metal you’re welding. Install the rod into the electrode holder or stinger, making sure the machine is properly grounded.
- Set the welding current based on the electrode and material thickness.
- Hold the electrode holder at a comfortable angle. Steadily strike the electrode against the workpiece and create an arc.
- Maintain a consistent arc length by keeping a steady hand and moving in a controlled manner.
- Once you’ve reached the end of the joint, gradually withdraw the electrode.
