10. User Tips
- Start with Lower Settings: If you are new to a specific welding process or material, start with lower current and voltage settings and gradually increase them until you achieve the desired weld.
- Practice Makes Perfect: Dedicate time to practice on scrap materials to get a feel for the machine and different welding techniques.
- Cleanliness is Key: Always ensure your workpiece is clean and free of rust, paint, or oil. Contaminants can lead to poor weld quality and increased spatter.
- Proper Gas Flow (Gas MIG): Maintain the correct gas flow rate for Gas MIG welding to ensure proper shielding and prevent porosity in your welds.
- Wire Stick-Out: Keep a consistent wire stick-out (the length of wire extending from the contact tip) for stable arc and good penetration.
