I'm a complete beginner to welding bought my first Mig a Clarke 100. I've plugged it in checked the wire spool is good and set up 2 bits of scrap metal rods in a vice to test the machine. The pic shows the setup. Work piece in vice with earth/return clamp attached and torch ready to go Is this correct? (The silver clamp is just to hold the workpiece in vice)
I'm concerned about being electrocuted that's my main worry with welding so I just want to make sure I'm doing this correctly. As long as the earth clamp is attached to the workpiece I should be OK?
Also can you hold or touch a workpiece while welding or would you get shocked? Cheers
