The invention discloses a clamping device for manual 
welding of a vertical face of an electric appliance cabinet and an application method of the clamping device. The clamping device comprises a three-dimensional pointer type feedback warning device, a three-axis type two-way fine adjustment reset device, an adjustable ferromagnetic iron sheet adsorption device and a to-be-welded main body rack. The invention belongs to the technical field of 
welding clamping devices, and particularly relates to the clamping device for manual 
welding of the vertical face of the electric appliance cabinet and the application method of the clamping device. Through the three-dimensional pointer type feedback warning device, the amplitude and the direction of position deviation generated by the tip, making contact with an iron 
skin, of a pointer body are fed back, observation by operators is facilitated, and deviation correction measures can be conveniently taken in time when the deviation amplitude is too large; and an annular adjustable strong 
magnet drives the iron 
skin to translate, so that the position deviation of the iron 
skin caused by thermal stress in the 
welding process is corrected, the technical prejudice that the skin can only be clamped and fixed in the opposite direction is overcome, and the problem that the edge closing position of the side face of the rack cannot be clamped and positioned is effectively solved.
