Welding Parameters

Current Type: DC Electrode Positive , DC Electrode Negative

Volts	Amps	Diameter	Stick Out
18-24	140-200	.045" (1.2mm)	3/4"-1" (19-25mm)
22-28	170-300	1/16" (1.6mm)	1"-1¼" (25-32mm)
25-29	240-400	3/32" (2.4mm)	1"-1½" (25-38mm)
26-32	250-450	7/64" (2.8mm)	1"-1½" (25-38mm)

Welding Procedure:

When welding out of position, use .045 (1.2mm) with Electrode Positive polarity and the lower range of amperages and voltages. Weld vertical down with 3/4" (19mm) wide weave beads. A gas cover will be helpful, especially when using a constant current power source and voltage sensing feeder.
