Positive and Negative Welding Current Terminals
Refer back to Figure 4-1. Both terminals located at
the bottom of the unit are shown without the terminal
knob. Both knobs must be firmly secured before at-
tempting to weld.
Gun Polarity Lead
This lead selects the welding voltage polarity of the
electrode wire. Attach it to the positive welding termi-
nal (+) when using steel, stainless steel or aluminium
electrode wire . Attach the Gun Polarity Lead to the
negative welding terminal ( - ) when using gasless
flux cored electrode wire. If in doubt, consult the
manufacturer of the electrode wire for the correct
polarity. Also refer to section 3-15.
Positive and Negative Welding Terminal Knobs
Welding current flows from the Power Supply via
heavy duty terminals. It is essential, that these termi-
nal knobs are tight to achieve the necessary electrical
connection.
CAUTION
Loose welding terminal connections can cause
overheating and result in failure of the termi-
nals.
Gun Switch Receptacle
The Torch Trigger 4-pin receptacle is used to connect
the two wires from the torch gun to the Fabricator
251. Only pins 1 and 2 are used for this.
To make connections, align keyway, insert plug, and ro-
tate threaded collar fully clockwise.
