When you buy a MIG welding machine that is completely suitable for you, you can start to learn how to weld. Compared with MMA or TIG, the technical requirements for this are not high, because as long as your current, voltage and welding wire match, you can complete the metal droplet transfer, but the difference is beautiful, there is almost no melting or adhesion possibility. But you need some attempts to improve your welding skills. For example, you can find some metal scraps or scraps in local metal factories or some shops, and you can try welding with these materials. Contrary to plasma cutting, you need to start with a certain thickness of the plate, and gradually try to reduce the thickness of the plate after improving the technical and theoretical knowledge. If you want to get a perfect work then these attempts are indispensable.

Safety instructions
Although the output voltage of the electric welding machine is relatively low, the possibility of electric shock when using the machine is also very small. But if you get an electric shock, although it is not fatal, you will feel partly paralyzed. Moreover, it is very dangerous if it comes into contact with the power supply of the machine or the positive and negative poles of the output, which may endanger lives on the spot. Think about it, even metal can melt, let alone the body. Therefore, we must pay attention to prevent electric shock when operating the machine. Avoid using the welding machine when wet and sweaty and wearing insulated shoes and gloves. The most important thing is not to stand in the water. When starting the arc, you must wear appropriate DIN shading glasses or welding mask to avoid electrical burns. If you burn your eyes, you may experience tears for 2 to 3 days, inability to concentrate, and photophobia, which may cause permanent damage.

Splashes from welding machines can also cause great damage. For example, splashing sparks sometimes contain large particles of molten metal. Its temperature is very high and will penetrate your clothes and shoes and burn your body or scalp. The temperature of the workpiece will rise sharply during welding, and your hands may be burned during welding. Therefore, you must wear appropriate protective equipment when operating the MIG welder, such as welding gloves, boots, aprons or split protective clothing. Otherwise it will bring you great harm, so these protective measures are very necessary.

There are many safety matters to pay attention to, but at present I can only tell you some basic safety knowledge, but the one that will never go wrong is “obey the machine operation manual, standardize use from beginning to end, and comply with local work safety regulations.”

Hope you learned about basic MIG welding in this article

MIG welding is very simple and easy to learn, you only need to prepare the machine and make a lot of attempts while complying with the safety regulations.
If you have never operated a MIG welder, you will not be able to weld a perfect weld in a short time. This requires you to practice a lot of scrap metal. But when you can weld a perfect weld under any circumstances, you will get a high salary, and a skilled welder’s salary is not low!
