5.3 MIG/MAG welding
5.3.1 Connection for workpiece lead
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!
"-" welding current connection socket
• ---------- MIG/MAG welding: Workpiece connection
Connection socket, "+" welding current
• ---------- MIG/MAG cored wire welding: Workpiece connection
• Insert the plug on the workpiece lead into the "-" welding current connection socket and lock.
