Connections for using gas / gasless wire
Ensure machine is disconnected from mains before changing torch polarity
When welding with gasless wire you need to reverse the polarity of welding power.
Gas welding is negative earth and positive wire (torch)
Gasless welding is positive earth and negative wire (torch)
1. Gas type wire
Connect as per diagram above, A is power outlet, B is + to torch Fit earth lead to -
negative connector on front of machine
2. Gasless type wire (reverse polarity required for gasless wire)
Connect brass bar from A to C so torch is negative
Fit earth lead to + positive connector on front of machine
Note: Ensure machine is disconnected from mains before changing torch polarity.
