c) The bead will be at and porous
d) Rod may be freeze or stick to work piece
Note: Rate of travel over the work also aects the weld. To ensure proper penetration
and enough deposit of rod, the arc must be moved slowly and evenly along the weld
seam.

Electrode holder connection
1. Attach the Twist-lock electrode holder to the +ve terminal on the ACDC200LCD
2. Open the electrode holder by turning the head and handle in the opposite
directions until the head clamp opens.
3. Place the exposed end of the electrode into the lead clamp and hold in place.
4. Turn the handle to close the head clamp.
Setting the amperage control
The welder has an innite output current control.
There is no golden rule that determines the exact amperage required for every
situation. It is best to practice your welds on scrap metal which matches the metals
you intend to work with to determine correct setting for your job. The electrode type
and the thickness of the work piece metal determine the amount of heat needed in
the welding process. Heavier and thicker metals require more voltage (amperage),
whereas lighter and thinner metals require less voltage (amperage).
