Line 22: * Machine strikes an arc between the work and a consumable wire electrode, melting a pool of metal ** Welding isn't like soldering, welding melts the pieces of metal and allows them to flow together and mix with the filler material. When it re-solidifies it's one continuous piece of metal * Wire dips in and out, adding metal to the pool * Gas shields the hot metal from the air Line 46 ⟶ 47: The voltage is low, but you still don't want to touch it Mind what you point the torch at Power on this welder cuts off as soon as the trigger is released, which is not the case for all welders. NO RINGS, NO WATCHES!! Users with implanted medical devices should seek doctor's approval before welding, it's not usually a problem, but please do check The welder plugs into aone of the 16A round ~~socket~~sockets on the central pillars downstairs * there is a 16A socket on the pillar, it shares power with the bandsaw. * If the bandsaw is used at the same time it may trip the breaker * Use only suitably rated industrial extension leads, they're in the desk drawer B1B * Extension leads are a trip hazard, warn people Line 216 ⟶ 215: == MIG Welder induction - Level 2 == Level 2 induction should cover more advanced uses. Normal machine usage charges apply during this induction, you should expect it to cost around £10-15 plus more for practice afterwards if you want to (Strongly recommended) === Main level 2 induction ===
