Welding Guide

Next, take the specified parameters from the chart and dial them in on the front of the welder. Set the voltage first. The main objective of welding is to melt the base metal and then add filler wire. Voltage controls the amount of penetration. If you're unsure, set the voltage high; you can always come down. Beware: You may get a great-looking weld with a low voltage, but you could just pile wire on top of the weld piece rather than have good fusion. Next, set the wire feed speed.
