STORAGE AND HANDLING RECOMMENDATIONS

• Store in a heated room with uniform temperature control and, if possible, with humidity control as well.
• Store unpackaged wires for long periods in a heated cabinet at 10-15°C above ambient temperature.
• Hold GM 4043 wire in the welding area for 24 hours before unpacking to allow its temperature to equalize with that of the surrounding area.
• Use dust covers on open wire feed units to protect wire during welding.
