Instructions for Welding

1. Strike the arc by angle less than 30º from base metal and then proceed forward by pressing firmly on the metal.
2. If the deep groove is necessary, it is better to repeat gouging operation several times with shallow groove.
3. Do not preheat the gouging rod with excessive temperature(max. 50ºC for 30 minutes), this is to maintain the moisture level in the
coating in order to get deep penetration characteristic.
