Today is the first time I've welded...this is an accomplishment for me
I practiced for about an hour did some straight beads and a few plug welds, this is what I will be doing mainly while restoring a MGB, but I can't see what I am welding.
I had my shield set on 10 then changed it to 9 but still I see the tip but can't tell where it is going. I tried to weld two pieces together but the tip wondered because I couldn't see the line.
Also the wire seems to be stuttering....will be smooth for 3 seconds then I feel a push. When I first installed the wire the spool blew up and I just rolled it back on the roll could this be the problem?
......did I say I actually welded today I've had this welder for months but mentally could not bring myself to actually do it for some reason I was afraid I would either get electrocuted or burn something down.
thanks in advance
