Article: It's important to ground the welder or you may electrocute yourself as you weld. The ground clamp should be attached to a flexible hose coming from your welder. Attach the clamp to the table or workstation that you plan on welding on. Always hold your welding gun with 2 hands. Position the tip of the gun towards the metal, at a 20-degree angle so that you can push the weld away from you. Remember to wear your welding gloves. A bead is the proper weld shape and looks like tiny circles when you're done. When you practice welding, make these tiny circles to create a bead instead of pushing the welding gun in a straight line.
