SECTION 6:
STICK (MMAW) WELDING
6.01 Setup For STICK (MMAW) Welding
A. Select Stick mode with the process selection control (refer to Section 4.02.07 for further information).
B. Connect the Electrode Holder lead to the positive welding terminal (+). If in doubt, consult the electrode
manufacturer. Welding current flows from the Power Source via Dinse type terminals. It is essential,
however, that the male plug is inserted and turned securely to achieve a sound electrical connection.
C. Connect the work lead to the negative welding terminal (-). If in doubt, consult the electrode manufac-
turer. Welding current flows from the power source via Dinse type terminals. It is essential, however,
that the male plug is inserted and turned securely to achieve a sound electrical connection.
!
WARNING
Before connecting the work clamp to the work and inserting the electrode in the electrode holder make sure the Mains
power supply is switched off.
!
CAUTION
Remove any packaging material prior to use. Do not block the air vents at the front or rear of the Welding Power Source.
NOTE!
Consult the electrode manufacturer’s information for the correct polarity.-
