Note. Refer to TM 9-237 for metallic arc welding theory and
application.
c. Use a sample piece of metal, like the metal to be
welded and adjust the welding amperage to produce
the correct arc necessary for the welding to be done.
Warning: Do not come in contact with the
electrode while the welding machine is operating.
The high voltage generated by the machine can
cause death by electrocution.
