Connecting welding and return cables
The power source has two outputs, a positive welding terminal (+) and a negative welding
terminal (-), for connecting welding and return cables. The output to which the welding cable
is connected depends on the welding method or type of electrode used.
Connect the return cable to the other output on the power source. Secure the return cable’s
contact clamp to the workpiece, and make sure that there is a good contact between the
workpiece and the output for the return cable on the power source.
