+ | ====== Protips ====== | ||
+ | It's a good idea to know the basics before you start welding (see the people above), but here's some general tips: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Make sure the welder is set to TIG, not MMA when you start welding | ||
+ | * Wear long-sleeved clothes when welding, otherwise you might get an unpleasant sunburn. There' | ||
+ | * Don't weld galvanized steel (blacha ocynkowana)! The fumes are toxic and doesn' | ||
+ | * If the weld comes out dirty and splattery, make sure the valve for the argon gas cylinder is open. The regulator should show about 6 l/min when the torch " | ||
+ | * 90 Amps is a good starting setting for welding - if you don't know what current you need for your project, you can start with that and adjust based on results. | ||
+ | * As a rule of thumb, the electrode should be sticking out from the ceramic cup by about half of the diameter of the cup's opening. | ||
+ | * While welding, keep the electrode as close to the material as you can without dipping it into the puddle. 3mm distance is alright. | ||
+ | * If you just finished welding a part it might still be very hot even if it's not glowing anymore. If you touch it with your bare hand you might burn yourself | ||
