1) JUSTIFICATION

Text should be justified.

UnjustifiedThe control switch, or trigger, when pressed by the operator, initiates the wire

feed, electric power, and the shielding gas flow, causing an electric arc to be

struck. The contact tip, normally made of copper and sometimes chemically

treated to reduce spatter, is connected to the welding power source through the

power cable and transmits the electrical energy to the electrode while directing itto the weld area.
