Preparation Before Welding

For better welding results, ensure the workpiece is properly prepared before starting.

Remove excessive:

• Rust
• Paint
• Oil
• Grease
• Dirt
• Scale
• Other contaminants

Secure the workpiece properly and ensure the welding machine is configured according to the electrode manufacturer’s recommendations.

Storage

Welding electrodes should be stored in a clean, dry environment and protected against excessive moisture.

Moisture-contaminated electrodes can negatively affect welding performance and may contribute to poor weld quality. Keep unused rods in suitable packaging or dry storage until required.

Welding Safety

Arc welding produces intense light, heat, sparks, fumes and molten metal. Appropriate personal protective equipment should always be used.

Wear a suitable welding helmet, welding gloves, protective clothing and safety footwear. Ensure adequate ventilation and keep flammable materials away from the welding area.

Never weld closed containers or materials that may contain hazardous or flammable substances.
