One of the first causes for spatter is incorrect amperage settings. The wire feed speed determines the kind of amperage you will be using. If you set too high then you will experience spatter.

let me ask a real dumb question? so the ground goes in the positive side and the part you weld with goes on the negative side. or just on this machine.. im very new at this and genuinely asking..
I'm a girl and I really want to learn mig welding to make simple furniture like an exposed metal frame love seat for my studio condo that is puppy chew proof and cat claws proof too

Thanks a million. I was having some difficulties but your explanations was helpful.
Glad it helped!
Thank you very much for the help. It was great video. Big hug.👍
You're welcome!
Picked one up. Was going to go with a Forney 110v welder but this one has both voltages and at $109 I had to take a chance on it.
I like it a lot.
Great video sir
Thank you!
Isn't Amps the wire feed speed? My display showed V when I got it and a few uses in it switched to showing Amps and I don't know how to switch it back
I'm sorry I don't know. I gave it to my son.

Thanks for the info!

Yeah it's weird, just follow the instruction and pictures and it works. Have a great day.
Waiting for mine to come in. Thanks for swift reply.. appreciate you

You can do it!! Have fun!
You'll burn the condo unit down. Have a man do it.
.8 mm is the best size for cheap brand
Thanks
Exposed circuit board. Maybe use that welder to fabricate a cover for that.
I just got one too. My circuit board was covered.
😅
The newer ones do have those wires covered.
@@garylee9738 I agree, just received mine and no exposed circuit board.
@@Warpfield GOOD! Mine is on the delivery truck now so hopefully mine has the covered board also.
