Supplied Weld Output Terminal

Nut

Weld Cable Terminal

Copper Bar

Remove supplied nut from weld out-

put terminal. Slide weld cable terminal

onto weld output terminal and secure

with nut so that weld cable terminal is

tight against copper bar.

Do not

place anything between weld cable

terminal and copper bar. Make sure

that the surfaces of the weld cable

terminal and copper bar are clean.

Do not place

anything between

Correct Installation

weld cable terminal

and copper bar.

Stick and TIG Welding

For Stick and TIG welding Direct Cur-

rent Electrode Positive (DCEP), con-

nect electrode holder cable to CC

(Stick/TIG) terminal on right and work

cable to Negative (

−

) terminal on left.

For Direct Current Electrode Nega-

tive (DCEN), reverse cable

connections.
Use Process/Contactor switch to se-

lect type of weld output (see Section

6-3).

MIG and FCAW Welding

For MIG and FCAW welding Direct

Current Electrode Positive (DCEP,

connect wire feeder cable to CV

(Wire) terminal on right and work

cable to Work/Negative (

−

) terminal

on left. Use Process/Contactor

switch to select type of weld output

(see Section 6-3).
For Direct Current Electrode Nega-
