Which sequence best describes the basic cad weld preparation?

• A. Read the Instructions With the Mold, Remove Hazards, Place Cable Ends in Mold, Drop the Metal Disk
• B. Start Welding Before Reading Instructions
• C. Skip Mold Checks
• D. Ignore Safety Protocols

Answer: (A)

The best sequence teaches a safety-first, instructions-driven approach to cad weld prep. Start by checking the instructions that come with the mold so you know the exact steps and safety precautions. Then remove any hazards from the work area so nothing can cause contamination or injury. After that, place the cable ends in the mold so the weld area is properly aligned and supported. Finally, drop the metal disk to complete the setup and begin the weld. This order ensures you’re following the supplier’s guidance, clearing hazards, and correctly preparing the parts before welding. Starting to weld before reading the instructions, skipping mold checks, or ignoring safety procedures would ignore essential precautions and risk a faulty weld or injury.
