Connection of welding and return cables
The power source has two outputs for connecting welding and return cables: a negative [-]
terminal (7) and a positive [+] terminal (8) (see Figure 1).
5.2.1
For MIG/MMA process
For MIG/MMA process, the output to which the welding cable is connected depends on the
type of electrode. Refer to electrode packaging for information relating to the correct
electrode polarity. Connect the return cable to the remaining welding terminal (9) on the
power source.
Secure the return cable's contact clamp to the work piece and ensure that there is good
electrical contact. Connect the torch connector to the Torch connection (6).
NOTE!
MIG welding guidance chart:
The backside of the door on the bobbin side displays a MIG welding guidance chart
for initial selection of welding controls. This is intended as a guide for setting
parameters on this equipment.
5.2.2
For TIG process
For TIG process (requires optional TIG accessories), connect the TIG torch power cable to
the negative [-] terminal (7), see illustration. Connect the gas inlet nut on the TIG torch to the
gas outlet connector (4) located on the front of the power source. Connect the gas inlet nut
(12), on rear panel, to a regulated shielding gas supply. Connect the work return lead to the
return-cable terminal (9). Connect the torch connector to the torch connection (6) (see Figure
1).
