Operate safety equipment and use safe work habits.
Ignite torches or start power supplies and strike arcs by touching electrodes to metals being welded, completing electrical circuits. Clamp, hold, tack-weld, heat-bend, grind or bolt component parts to obtain required configurations and positions for welding.
Operate manual or semi-automatic welding equipment to fuse metal segments, using processes such as gas tungsten arc, gas metal arc, flux-cored arc, plasma arc, shielded metal arc, resistance welding, and submerged arc welding.
Detect faulty operation of equipment or defective materials and notify supervisors.
Monitor the fitting, burning, and welding processes to avoid overheating of parts or warping, shrinking, distortion, or expansion of material.
Examine workpieces for defects and measure workpieces with straightedges or templates to ensure conformance with specifications.
Recognize, set up, and operate hand and power tools common to the welding trade, such as shielded metal arc and gas metal arc welding equipment.
Lay out, position, align, and secure parts and assemblies prior to assembly, using straightedges, combination squares, calipers, and rulers.
Chip or grind off excess weld, slag, or spatter, using hand scrapers or power chippers, portable grinders, or arc-cutting equipment.
Analyze engineering drawings, blueprints, specifications, sketches, work orders, and material safety data sheets to plan layout, assembly, and welding operations.
Connect and turn regulator valves to activate and adjust gas flow and pressure so that desired flames are obtained.
Prepare all material surfaces to be welded, ensuring that there is no loose or thick scale, slag, rust, moisture, grease, or other foreign matter.
Select and install torches, torch tips, filler rods, and flux, according to welding chart specifications or types and thicknesses of metals. Remove rough spots from workpieces, using portable grinders, hand files, or scrapers.
• Operate metal shaping, straightening, and bending machines, such as brakes and shears.
• Hammer out bulges or bends in metal workpieces.
• Set up and use ladders and scaffolding as necessary to complete
work.
• Preheat workpieces prior to welding or bending, using torches or
heating furnaces.
• Estimate materials needed for production and manufacturing and
maintain required stocks of materials.
• Check grooves, angles, or gap allowances, using micrometers,
calipers, and precision measuring instruments.
• Signal crane operators to move large workpieces.
• Fill holes, and increase the size of metal parts.
