Step 6Always HOT!!
Once you've hooked the welder up to the batteries, it's HOT!!
The trigger only controls the wire feed. The tip is wired direct to the battery.
I started out welding with the tip bare, but I accidentally brushed it against the work and pitted the gun. They make insulated "cups" to cover the tip, but I don't have one. So I proceeded to the next step.

Tim, I enjoyed reading through your welding tutorials, thnx. This one in particular has intrigued me. As for the tip always being "hot", I think there is an easy way to resolve that issue. At the junkyard, grab a starter relay (I think the Ford style double post would be ideal) and use the roller feed power to energize the tip when the trigger is pulled. Just an idea I thought I'd share. Mike Bynum
