Any one of the weaving motions shown in Fig 2 can be Used.
Note: Do not break the arc while moving in the Upward direction.

The motion of the electrode should be a weaving motion.
Keep the electrode motion confined to the weld width so that the edge of the upper plate is not melted off.
The rate of travel should be even for obtaining a uniform bead with a good appearance.
Note: Overlapping distance should not be more than 3 times the thickness of the base metal.
