Always read and follow the safety precautions and operational instructions in your owner’s manual.
- A drag or pull gun technique will give you a bit more penetration and a narrower bead. A push gun technique will give you a bit less penetration, and a wider bead. (Refer to Diagram 3).
- When welding a fillet, the leg of the weld should be equal to the thickness of the parts welded. (Refer to Diagram10).
- Compare your weld to photos to determine proper adjustments.
