We feel
that
weldtng

your
new Craftsman
dual

arc welder
is as s_mple as A B. C.

Determine
what
diameter
electrode
should
be used by
gauging
the piece to be welded
on the material
thickness
gauge.
The fractional
number
d_rectly
beneath
the bar
chart
d_ctates what
the proper
electrode
d_ameter
is for
g_ven thicknesses
of metals
You wgl note
that a specific
diameter
of
electrodes
can
be
used
on
varying
thicknesses
of
mater_al,
Th_s

Next
verdy
the electrode
diameter,
by placing
the bare
porbon
of
the
electrode
into
the electrode
d_ameter
gauge on the right
s_de of the cabinet
Because
electrodes
are
mass produced,
there
may
be
smag burrs on the bare end of the electrode
Make sure
the
bare
end
of
the
rod
_s as clean
as possible
for
accurate
sizing
C
Finally,
determine
the
type
of
electrode
by
the
tdent_ficatlon
on
the
package
or
by
the
American
Welding
Soctety
number
stenctlled
on the coated
portion
of the electrode,
bearing
in m_nd the type
of electrode
you
have
chosen
-
E6013
or
E7014,
and
also
_ts'
diameter
(as prewously
determtned)
Locate
that band
on the amp scale
There are two
E6013
bands
and
two
E7014
bands,
use
the
band
which
coordinates
w_th the amp range you have selected.
Now
loosen
the
heat
selector
knob
and
move
[he
pointer
untd
the
fractional
number

your
electrode
diameter

m the pointer
window.
Tighten
the heat seEector knob
Insert
the
electrode
cable
mto
the
proper
tack
(dependmg
on the
range
selected)
Connect
the
work
clamp to the work
Wear Welding
Helmet.
Turn
the On-Off
swttch
to the "ON"
positron
and you
are ready to weld.
Because metals
vary
m their
make
up and the techntque
of each operator
[s different,
you
may find
_t necessary
to increase
or decrease
the amperage
output
accordingly
