WELDING GUIDELINES
Stick welding is probably the most familiar welding
process known. A coated ELECTRODE, the weld rod,
is clamped into an ELECTRODE HOLDER, an insulat-
ed clamping device, which in turn connects to the
ELECTRODE CABLE, a heavy wire. The WORK, the
metal piece to be welded, is connected to the WORK
CABLE, a heavy wire which contains the WORK
CLAMP. Quality Lincoln cables use many fine copper
wires with a very flexible insulating covering for the
electrode and work cables. When properly connected
to the OUTPUT STUDS of a high current power
source, the electrode melts and bonds the metal
being repaired. See “Cable Installation” section for
proper cable connection to a Power-Arc.
The Power-Arc provides excellent weld output char-
acteristics when used in combination with Lincoln AC
electrodes. Other AC electrodes may also be used.
Follow the settings listed in Table B.2 “Welding
Application Chart” and the “Electrode Selection
Guide” found on the nameplate of the machine.
ARC RAYS can burn.
• When using an open arc process,
it is necessary to use correct eye,
head and body protection.
WARNING
Stick Welding
Semi-automatic, MIG Welding With a
Lincoln Weld Pak 100 or Weld Pak 125
The Power-Arc generator power can be used to supply
power to a Lincoln Weld-Pak 100 or Weld-Pak 125 wire
feed welder.
The Weld-Pak is equipped with all the
supplies needed for Flux-Cored Arc Welding (FCAW),
and is available where Lincoln products are sold.
A K610-1 MIG Conversion Kit is also available for the
Weld-Pak which provides all the essentials needed
for Gas Metal Arc Welding, GMAW, or MIG process-
es.
Contact your local authorized Lincoln representative
for more details.
NOTES:
The values listed are suggested settings. Actual set-
ting may vary depending on individual preference
and/or specific application. Beginners should use
Lincoln E7018 AC.
For electrodes not listed, follow tables that are
packed with the electrodes.
Ask for the Lincoln WELD DIRECTORY (Publication
M210) for a complete listing of all Lincoln stick elec-
trodes available.
