Great! Pull that trigger and weld away!!

A couple of un-asked for tips.... Snip the end of the wire at each tack or each start - snip it at an angle - this small 'point' helps start the weld... Yes it uses some wire -- but a good weld is more important than a few inches (total) of wire....

And -- if you're like me - I can't use the recommended settings for the helmets -- if I do - I can't see a damn thing -- so I always start on a hunk of scrap and get my helmet set so I can see what the hell I'm doing first!
