Step 12Safety
A stick welder uses high amperages and voltages (over 90 amps and around 90 volts) Because of this proper safety equipment is required.
A welding helmet (I prefer auto darkening)
A pair of leather welding gloves
A welding jacket or apron
Now some more safety tips,
Keep both hands on the stinger(rod holder) at all times while welding, this will keep you from touching the grounding work piece and creating a connection through yourself.
And also never weld Galvanized steel, unless your wearing a respirator with the correct filters.
