An extremelystable, spray type penetrating arc, i s produced that is easy to start and restart after interruption. It is aversatile electrode, producing welds far beyond the requirements of its A.W.S. classification. It adapts to awide variety of jobs due to the wide range of amperage settings at which top quality results are obtained.Features: Deeper Penetration -- Fast-Freeze Puddle -- Greater Arc Stability.WELDING PROCEDURE: Weld with AC or DC (reverse polarity). Strike the arc by brushing rod tip lightlyat the point where weld is to be made. After the arc is established and weld material is deposited,concentrate on holding a short arc that is just long enough to keep the electrode from touching the moltenmetal. In the flat position, use a slight oscillating motion as you advance. In vertical position, on sheet steelstart at the top of the seam and weld down. This provides a more rapid speed of travel, lower penetration,and minimum warpage. When welding overhead use a straight stringer bead or a circular motion. Keep themolten pool as small as possible. Use small electrodes overhead, none larger than 5/32 diameter.21
