Electrode Selection: Choose electrodes with a diameter between 1.6mm and 4mm, based on the material thickness and desired weld.
Welding Current: Adjust the welding current using the stepless control based on the material and electrode size. Thicker materials require higher amperage.

Care: Regularly clean the welder to remove dust and debris. Store in a dry place to prevent corrosion.
