SMAW - Shielded Metal Arc Welding Electrode - Metal rod which conducts a current from the electrode holder to the base metal Base Metal - Metal to be welded
Continued
Bead Weld - Made by one pass of the electrode Bevel Type of edge preparation containing an angle Butt Joint - Weld located between the two edges of metal. Crater - Depression at the end of a weld

Do not strike an arc or weld until you are sure those in the vicinity have protective equipment or will look in the other direction.
(Note) Yell cover before striking an arc.
Continued
Do not weld around combustible or flammable materials. Do not pick up hot metal with the hands.
(NOTE) Use a pair of pliers
Continued
Always turn off main switch or disconnect plug when checking over a welder. Do not leave electrode holder on the welding table or in contact with grounded metal. Do not use worn or frayed cables.
Continued
Stand on dry footing when welding. Keep area around welder clean. Keep tools and metals in proper location.

MIG (Metal Inert Gas) May use A.C. or D.C. with a base wire filler material that is fed automatically into weld; also has an inert shielding gas.

Sizes of electrodes range from 1/16 to 3/8. Electrode size is determined by the diameter of the wire core.
AWS Classification
E70XX-H4R
Electrode Tensile in Ksi Welding Position:
1 = All Position, 2 = Flat & Horizontal
Lowering current
Produces less heat
(Note: On thicker metals more heat is necessary in order to get penetration of the weld.)
Tapping
Straight down and up
Correct arc length makes a steady hum of the welder. Correct arc length makes a frying sound at the arc
Like bacon frying in a pan
