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 />
