	* ~~Always wear~~ approved ~~face shield while operating the welder.~~		* Wear an approved welding helmet fitted with a proper shade of filter lenses to protect your face and eyes when welding or watching.
	* Wear a ~~welder helmet that fits your head, face and neck comfortably. It should cover the top~~ of ~~your head down~~ to ~~where~~ your ~~head~~ and ~~neck meet. Those with a mask that lifts are helpful because they let you take a peek at your work, but you may want an auto-darkening helmet too that comes with shields designed for different jobs~~.		* Wear approved welding gloves and jacket.
	* Wear approved ~~welder’s~~ gloves and jacket.		* Wear protective clothing made from durable, flame-resistant material (leather, heavy cotton, or wool) and foot protection.

PROCEDURE

 * If you travel too slowly, the heat will be directed into the puddle and not into the weld, leading to cold lap or poor fusion.
 * Excessively fast travel speeds will also decrease penetration, create a narrower and/or highly crowned bead, and possibly underfill or undercut (the area outside of the weld is concave or recessed).

	~~The Millermatic 211~~ is ~~both a stick welder~~ and a ~~MIG welder, see sister MIG Welding Guide UG 130-03~~ and ~~Maintenance Guide MT 130-03~~		Stick welding is primarily used for heavy-duty iron and steel welds but it can also be used to weld other metals such as aluminum. It is a low cost and highly versatile process.

			We have a Miller Thunderbolt 210 stick welder.
