NOTE THIS DISCLAIMER ADVICE THAT IS GIVEN IS TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLDGE CORRECT AT THE TIME AND THE FACT THAT ALL PEOPLE HAVE DIFFERENT WAYS OF INTERPRETING ADVICE AND COVERTING TO A PRACTICLE MANNER YUO ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR OWN ACTIONS. |

Might be a good idea then to search out all previous threads with usefull info and tips and add them to your "super thread". I think the 48hour thingo is way too soon.
|
after the 48 hours the question with its answer will be tranferd into the main body of the sticky so it will still be there

safety is #1 well all the most import ant thing i can think of is personal safety when doing any type of weld /cutting or fab
the most important tool at your disposal is between your ears before yuo start take time to think of the hazards accosiated with each task that you under take. when using arc welding gear always wear full covering non flamable clothing boots are good coz nylon joggers dont stop the hot drops of flux ans metal wear gloves leather of some description and a weld helmet one thing most lay men dont think of is hearing protection ear plugs not only stop damaging noise but also stop hot sparks going down the ear canal this i know as i have a hole burnt through my ear drum not nice if you are under yuor jeep doing any weld or fab make sure that it is blocked correctly with stands not just a jack we have already lost a member a few years ago:( just be carefull and think now in saying all this let move on for our next installment |
Murray I'm about to head off on the SJC Simpson Desert trip and wanted to take along a bush welding kit. I have a 130amp stick welder and have made and repaired things over the years so I know how to handle that and how to produce a reasonable weld. I have all the bits and pieces that I need for the Bush Welding kit, and know how to hook the batteries up, so ...
my question is: How do I control the amps that I am pulling from the batteries? Thanks glend |
