4. WELDING TABLE
Use the table below to calculate the
welding current, according to the type of
electrode used:
ELECTRODE WELDING
DIAMETER CURRENT
mm
2.0 45 ÷ 60
2.5 60 ÷ 100
3.25 90 ÷ 140
4.0 140 ÷ 170
5.0 190 ÷ 230
5. CONNECTION FOR MMA WELDING
The Dinse connector is inserted by
lining-up the key with the groove and
turning the connector in a clockwise
direction until it stops.
The electrode clamp holder and earth must
be connected to the '+' and '-' terminals,
according to the specifications of the
electrodes used.

This is carried out by stopping a while over
the last crater (i.e. the end of the welding
seam), returning slowly on the previously
deposited seam for approximately two
centimetres and, only at this point, moving
the electrode away from the workpiece to
turn off the arc.
