First of all, you do the welding, not the welder. Get your amperage set appropriately or according to your manual for the diameter rod you're using and touch the metal to get the arc going. As soon as it starts, lift the tip back slightly so as to keep a nice quiet arc going. If you're right handed, tilt the top of the rod holder to the right at about a 45 degree angle and make a circular motion with the tip of the rod as you slowly go from left to right. Hold the rod close enough that the sound it makes sounds like eggs frying and the puddle of melted metal is orange. If the puddle is white looking and the arc looks bluish and sounds like Dr. Frankenstein jump starting his creature, you're holding it too far away. Sometimes a cold rod is a little harder to begin an arc and dragging the rod across the metal to make it spark will warm it up some. 6013 is a easy rod to weld with.

You need to set the voltage just high enough to maintain an arc. IF you set it too high it'll arc real well but be too hot and the metal weld will crack while cooling. Set too low the rod will stick to the work (metal) and not maintain and arc.
So, there's the initial phase of playing with it to make sure it maintains an arc at the lowest setting and then get into welding.
The thicker the metal the hotter the spark has to be but even then it still has to be just enough to maintain an arc.
There are different diameter rods as well and a thinner rod for thinner metal is appropriate.
Good Luck!

If it is a mig then you need to turn down the wire speed and you have to have the gas on unless it is a fluxcore machine. If it is a stick machine then you have a bad ground (I doubt it) amperage too low (doubt that too but possible) or you have the polarity backwards (swap the ground wire to the stinger and vise a versa. If it is a cheap little 110v cracker box machine you have to use the rods at the store where you bought it it can't weld regular rods.

If you're still struggling to boost you're vertical and you're trying to get your hands over the side, put Vert Shock to the test, a course that you will find it here https://tr.im/Jf0Do and provide it a decide to try, you will be taken aback of how fast you can become an animal hopper in the event that you train the best way.
The program will not allow you to leap a large number of times because Vert Shock was produced and employed by genuine elite level basketball players.
When it comes down to it, if you genuinely wish to leap larger, you simply discovered the most effective system on earth to complete so. Every other way could simply be a spend of time.

Never heard of a welding machine spitting at you. Do you know how to use a welder>

either a bad earth on the metal your welding, or youve set the current to low,
keep playing, practise makes perfect

Come on people---thats an easy answer.All he had to do is clip a hive at night and bring it into the compartment that he made for that purpose. Remember God is the architect and Noah was the builder End of story.

clean (prep) the weld site prior to welding, check your ground, turn up the amps... you could be doing many things wrong... keep practicing.

If its a mig you have the wire speed too high and or you have a bad ground. If its a stick turn your power is too low and or you have a bad ground. good luck
