Henry, glad you liked the videos. Thank you for the feedback. Maybe you can help your classmates by passing on our TH-cam channel to them. And follow us on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter because we run monthly giveaway contests. It's easy to enter and maybe you'll be the lucky winner! Wishing you the best and a successful career!
Mother of god, I couldn’t stop laughing. Great information delivered in a humorous manner is the BEST way to make sure people remember this. I definitely won’t be forgetting this any time soon. 😂
The video mentions that you have to be in contact with two live wires. That is not how electricity works. You only need one live wire and a ground. Correct me if I'm wrong
Perhaps more accurately, voltage needs a return path which could be the ground or another wire, depending on the circuit. Most circuits have one wire connected to 'ground' at the source but a multi-voltage system can have different potentials to ground or to another wire. A North American residential 'hot wire', for example, is 120v to ground but is 240v to the other 'hot wire' because the pole transformer is grounded at the center point of the 240v coil.
So let me understand this: If I've one metal workpiece grounded, can I hold the other workpiece to it, with my gloved left hand, while operating the stinger with my right hand, WITHOUT getting a shock? Thank you!!
Yes, that is correct. Just make sure you don't get a finger between the rod/stinger and the metal to avoid burns and a shock. Follow the manufacturer's safety instructions and take all the usual precautions you would when operating an electrical appliance. Good luck and stay safe!
This video is okay but there’s a giant hole in the information: at 7:15 we learn about riskier situations, then we get a list of “safer” equipment in those situations, but we never get any explanation why those situations are more risky or why this other equipment is supposedly safer. Apparently it’s just inherently safe to use this other equipment and there’s no way to screw it up (and therefore no need to understand why the named equipment is supposedly safer. Not to mention that people weld while submerged in salt water, so what the heck is going on there?
Wow. Fabulous learning and teaching videos. Go ahead. Please make fully detailed videos about stick arc ERW welding including safety for beginners every details about electrode holder, machine setting details, etc.🙏😁💐💡thanks a lot. God bless you.
First thing this video says is wrong. You can't get electrocuted by "grabbing 2 hot wires", as long as you are not grounded. You only need one hot wire and one negative, or ground.
I had a removal jaw now, and titanium or a plate replaced the jaw, so is it dangerous for me if i am doing a welding machine or is easyly got the shock from electricity?
Hey Jeff, we are happy to answer welding questions but medical questions are way above our pay grade! We suggest you consult with your doctor. And if the doc gives you the go-ahead, make sure you follow all safe welding practices and wear proper protective clothing.
Hey David, good luck on your welding journey! If you are looking for equipment, check out our website - www.lincolnelectricretail.com. We have a wide range of welders, helmets, gloves, etc. All that you need now and in the future!
The ground is connected to the metal case and if a hot wire comes loose and contacts the metal case it will trip a breaker. If it is not properly grounded and a hot wire comes loose and touches the metal case and you touch the metal case it can shock you.
What would happen if you ground the welding table itself and also use rubber mats? Could i then touch the table without worrying about having my social security number canceled?
It's amazing that such a professional company (Lincoln) can upload such a condescending, demeaning, immature and childish video. Posting this was extremely disrespectful to your customers or potential customers who you obviously feel you have to talk to like their in kindergarten, absolutely disgusting the level of knuckle dragging immaturity you feel your customers posses. That said, looking at the other comments, I'm obviously alone in this maturity level, it appears the Lincoln knows their customer's intelligence level more than I realized, guess that's why I'm with Miller.
Ted had me laughing like crazy. It's good to have fun while learning potentially life-saving information. Great job.
Ted seems like a sweet guy
Morel of the story, don’t piss Ted off
You guys sponsored my college why don't you guys have these videos playing in my classes? I learn better this way.

This is so good I love it so much. Thank you for making this beautiful piece of art.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. Weld safe and have fun!
"Are you haopy Ted?"
"Reasonably"

Learnt more about DC AC here than at school
yeah...now i know their names too 😁
So let me understand this: If I've one metal workpiece grounded, can I hold the other workpiece to it, with my gloved left hand, while operating the stinger with my right hand, WITHOUT getting a shock?

All safety videos should be made by these guys. Brilliant.

David may be happier as a WalMart greeter.

I believe we’re considering ground to be “hot” as well.

thank you
Brilliant!
Great video. Super funny too! 👍
My name is David and im just starting to learn to weld.. 😁

Amazing!!!
@3:20 and not be the reason for the next safety stand down.
Hilarious AND Educational!!
Lmao my name is David
That’s why we should be afraid of Fred
This was a great skit
I know nothing about this what happens when you don't ground the welder
The ground is connected to the metal case and if a hot wire comes loose and contacts the metal case it will trip a breaker. If it is not properly grounded and a hot wire comes loose and touches the metal case and you touch the metal case it can shock you.
It's funny because it's true
2 mins in, poor dave
thanks this was really good
I luv ted
Fun video
I shpiel for a Miller Authorized Dealer. This was fun! Like Zinc Oxide and you, from Kentucky Fried Movie!
What would happen if you ground the welding table itself and also use rubber mats? Could i then touch the table without worrying about having my social security number canceled?
That's not Ted that's Tyrone
Lol who is that Ben Shapiro. He’s a smart guy

I would have liked a more serious video. Electrocution is no joke.
They probably dont want to scare anyone and thats why this video was chill and funny, also it was very educational.
Poor Ted
