@rudy92503 Easiest is to try practicing on thicker material first (1/8-1/4 or so) where you can safely set the voltage pretty high to start. On materials that thick with a 110v welder you don't have to worry about burning through like you would on sheet metal. Your lincoln should have a chart for voltage/wire feed settings, but set them close to what you see on there and then work on laying beads down nice
great video!!!!! An uncle let me use his Lincoln 135 to try out welding, and let me tell you I didnt know what I was doing wrong other than I wasnt getting the sizzling sound that everyone in other videos were talking about. Now I know what to do when I hear either one of those other sounds. All other tips for beginners are welcome. Thanks! Real helpful!!
