Power Supply Setup (frontside)
CONNECT THE WELDING STYLUS TO THE FRONT OF THE POWER SUPPLY
A video explanation of connecting the welding stylus to the power supply can be found at
http://

The welding stylus requires the most attention during setup . Since argon gas will flow through the
stylus, a tight fit between the power supply and the stylus is critical . This will insure that no oxygen
is entrained into the weld . To accomplish this, follow the steps below .
1 . Position the end of the stylus so that the notch is facing up .
2 . Push the stylus into the stylus connector port on the front panel of the power supply .
3 . Turn the outside layer of the stylus connector clockwise so it screws onto the stylus
connector port .
4 . Continue to turn the outside layer of the stylus connector clockwise until it stops .
5 . Now push in on the stylus connector, and then turn the outside layer of the stylus connector
again until it will no longer turn .
6 . Repeat steps 2-5 until you feel the stylus connector bottom out, and you can no longer screw
the stylus connector clockwise . This will insure that the stylus connector is firmly seated .
