FABRICATOR <strong>211i</strong> BASIC WELDING<br />

Position of MIG Gun<br />

The angle of MIG gun to the weld has an effect on the width of the weld.<br />

The welding gun should be held at an angle to the weld joint. (see Secondary Adjustment Variables below)<br />

Hold the gun so that the welding seam is viewed at all times. Always wear the welding helmet with proper filter<br />

lenses and use the proper safety equipment.<br />

CAUTION<br />

Do not pull the welding gun back when the arc is established. This will create excessive wire<br />

extension (stick-out) and make a very poor weld.<br />

The electrode wire is not energized until the gun trigger switch is depressed. The wire may therefore be placed<br />

on the seam or joint prior to lowering the helmet.<br />
