The filler rod if used should be fed into the leading edge of the weld pool with a slow dabbing action at an angle of 10–20 176 Fig 6 14 It should not be fed directly into the arc column as this tends to cause spatter and may accidentally contaminate the electrode A steeper angle than 10–20 176 restricts the welder s view of
