4.14 Setup For STICK (SMAW) Welding
A. 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 heavy duty bayonet type terminals. It is essential, however, that the male
plug is inserted and turned securely to achieve a sound electrical connection.
B. Connect the work lead to the negative welding terminal (-). If in doubt, consult the electrode manufacturer. Welding current
flows from the power source via heavy duty bayonet type terminals. It is essential, however, that the male plug is inserted
and turned securely to achieve a sound electrical connection.
C. Select STICK mode with the process selection control (refer to Section 4.01.13 for further information).
WARNING
Before connecting the work clamp to the work and inserting the electrode in the electrode holder
make sure the Electricity 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.
C. Switch the LOCAL/REMOTE switch inside the wire
feed compartment to LOCAL to use the Power Sources
Amperage control or REMOTE for remote amperage
control using a Hand Pendant Control.
