3.2 Installation & Operation for Stick Welding
3.2.1 Set up installation for Stick Welding
Connection of Output Cables
Connection of Output Cables Two sockets are available on this welding machine. For MMA
welding the electrode holder is shown be connected to the positive socket, while the earth lead
(work piece) is connected to the negative socket, this is known as DCEP. However various
electrodes require a different polarity for optimum results and careful attention should be paid to
the polarity, refer to the electrode manufacturers information for the correct polarity.
