2. Sikkerhedsoplysninger
WARNING: Welding can be dangerous. Always follow proper safety procedures to prevent injury or death.
- Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including a welding helmet with proper shade, flame-resistant clothing, welding gloves, and safety glasses.
- Sørg for tilstrækkelig ventilation for at undgå indånding af svejserøg.
- Protect bystanders from arc rays and hot metal.
- Be aware of fire hazards. Keep flammable materials away from the welding area.
- Ensure your welding machine is properly grounded.
- Do not weld on containers that have held flammable materials.

4. Opsætning og klargøring
4.1 Workspace Preparation
- Ensure your welding area is clean, dry, and free from flammable materials.
- Sørg for tilstrækkelig ventilation.
- Set up appropriate shielding to protect others from arc flash.
4.2 Materialeforberedelse
- While E7014 rods are tolerant of some surface contaminants, optimal results are achieved on clean metal. Remove excessive rust, paint, oil, or scale if possible.
- Ensure proper fit-up of the workpieces.
4.3 Welding Machine Setup
- Connect the welding cables to your arc welding machine according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Set the machine to the appropriate amperage for a 3/32-inch E7014 rod. A common range for this diameter is 80-120 amps, but always refer to your welding machine's recommendations and test on scrap material.
- E7014 rods can be used with both AC and DC (Direct Current Electrode Positive or Negative) power sources.

5. Betjeningsvejledning
5.1 Striking an Arc
- Grip the welding rod firmly in the electrode holder.
- Sænk din svejsehjelm.
- Strike the arc by either scratching the rod against the workpiece like a match or by tapping it quickly.
- Once the arc is established, maintain a consistent arc length (typically equal to the rod's diameter).
5.2 Svejseteknik
- Maintain a consistent travel speed and electrode angle (typically 10-30 degrees from vertical in the direction of travel).
- E7014 rods are known for their ease of use and smooth bead profile. They offer a high deposition rate, allowing for faster welding.
- For deep penetration, use a slight pushing angle and ensure the arc is directed into the joint.
- The slag produced by E7014 is generally easy to remove.
6. Vedligeholdelse og opbevaring
6.1 Rod Storage
- Store welding rods in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect welding performance and lead to porosity.
- Keep rods in their original sealed packaging until ready for use.
- If packaging is opened, store remaining rods in a sealed container or a rod oven, especially in humid conditions.
6.2 Post-Welding Care
- Allow welded parts to cool naturally.
- Remove slag using a chipping hammer and wire brush.
7. Fejlfinding
| Problem | Mulig årsag | Løsning |
|---|---|---|
| Difficulty striking arc | Lav amperage, poor ground connection, damp stang. | Øge ampsikring, tjek jordforbindelseamp, ensure rods are dry. |
| Overdreven sprøjt | Amperage too high, arc too long. | Reducere ampforkort buelængden. |
| Dårlig penetration | Amperage too low, travel speed too fast, incorrect electrode angle. | Øge amperage, slow down travel speed, adjust angle. |
| Porosity (holes in weld) | Moisture in rod, contaminated base metal, insufficient shielding. | Dry rods, clean base metal, ensure proper arc length. |
