Oxy-fuel welding.
Electric cables:
Cables are used in welding to
connect work piece with
electric supply.
Welding shield (hood):
This is the mask which is worn to protect the
person welding from the bright flash of the
arc.
Welding gloves:
These are special, insulated leather gloves
that reach about 6 inches above the wrists,
and protect the hands and lower arms of the
welder (the person welding).
Welding leathers:
This is an apron like leather jacket that
covers the shoulders and chest of the welder,
used for overhead work where sparks might
ignite the welder's clothing, or cause burns.
Gather the tools and materials you will need to begin
welding.
Set up a safe work area, preferably with a table constructed
of steel or other non-flammable material.
Prepare the metal to be welded.
Attach clamps to hold your metal pieces together.
Attach the ground clamp to the larger piece of stock that is
being welded.
Select the correct rod and ampare range for the work you
are attempting.
Turn on your welding machine.
Hold the stinger in your dominant hand by the insulated
handle.
Select the point where you wish to begin your weld.
Strike the electrode against the surface of the metal, pulling
it back slightly when you see an electric arc occur.
Practice traveling across the path of your weld with the
electrode until you can keep a consistent arc, moving at a
consistent speed.
Complete Your weld.
Clean your finished weld.
Paint your weld with a suitable rust-preventative primer to
protect it from corrosion.
