Polarity Selection
The welding terminals are labeled “+” (positive) and “-” (negative). Changing the polarity of the
cables will affect the weld. The correct polarity selection is dependent on the type of electrode you
are using and the type of material you are welding; refer to the electrode manufacturer’s recom-
mendations for best results.
For straight polarity, attach the electrode cable to the negative terminal, and attach the ground
cable to the positive terminal. To reverse polarity, reverse the cables.
