LEARNING TO WELD
Proper Gun Handling
Most feeding problems are caused by improper han-
dling of the gun cable or electrodes.
Do not kink or pull the gun around sharp corners
Keep the gun cable as straight as practical when
welding.
Do not allow dolly wheels or trucks to run over the
cables.
Keep the cable clean.
Innershield electrode has proper surface lubrica-
tion. Use only clean, rust-free electrode.
Replace contact tip when it becomes worn or the
end is fused or deformed.
