3.2 MMA welding
In manual metal arc (MMA) welding, the ller material is melted from the electrode to the
weld pool. The rate of welding current is selected on the basis of the electrode size and
welding position. The arc forms between the electrode tip and work piece. The melting
electrode coating forms a gas and slag shield, which protects the molten metal in transfer
to the weld pool and during solidication. As the slag solidies over the hot weld metal, it
prevents weld metal oxidation. This slag coating is removed after welding e.g. with a chipping
hammer. When removing the slag coating, ensure you protect your eyes and face with suitable
equipment.

2. Connect the clamp carefully so that contact surface is as large as possible.
3. Finally check that the clamp remains fastened.
3.2.3 Manual metal arc welding (MMA)
Select your required welding parameters according to the manufacturers ller material
recommendations and the joint to be welded.
1. Select the required polarity (+ or –) of welding current cable (normally + ) and
return current cable (normally –) according to the ller material manufacturers
recommendations.
2. Select MMA welding mode by pressing the process selection button on the control
panel.
3. Select a suitable welding current by adjusting the current adjustment knob.
4. Make a small test weld to check the selections made.
