8. Negative Welding Output Terminal
The negative welding terminal is used to connect the welding output of the power source to the work lead. Most
General Purpose electrodes are connected with work lead to negative. Consult the electrode manufacturer’s
information for the correct polarity.
Welding current flows from the workpiece via this Dinse type terminal to the power source. It is essential,
that the male dinse type plug is inserted and turned securely to achieve a sound electrical connection. Do not
over tighten.
!!
CAUTION
Loose welding terminal connections can cause overheating and result in the male plug being fused in the Dinse terminal.
9. Gas Inlet
Note the Optional Argon Mini- Regulator and Gas Hose Kit W4013010 is required in order to use Gas Shielded
Solid MIG Welding Wires.
The Gas Inlet connection is a barb type inlet fitting located on the rear of the machine which is used to supply
the appropriate MIG welding gas to the unit. Refer to section 5.09 for MIG set up details.
