A. Connect the Electrode Holder lead to the positive welding terminal (+). If in doubt, consult the electrode manufacturer.
Welding current flows from the Power Source via Dinse style connectors. It is essential, however, that the male plug is
inserted and turned securely to achieve a sound electrical connection.
B. Connect the work lead to the negative welding terminal (-). If in doubt, consult the electrode manufacturer. Welding cur-
rent flows from the Power Source via Dinse style connectors. It is essential, however, that the male plug is inserted and
