Workpiece
• Insert the polarity selection plug into the "+" welding current connection socket and lock in place by
turning to the right.
• Insert the central plug for the welding torch into the central connector and screw together with crown
nut.
• Insert cable plug on the workpiece lead into the "-" welding current socket and lock by turning to the
right.
Some wire electrodes (e.g. self-shielding cored wire) are welded using negative polarity. In this
case, the welding current lead should be connected to the "-" welding current socket, and the
workpiece lead should be connected to the "+" welding current socket. Observe the information
from the electrode manufacturer!
