Connect the electrode holder to the Negative (-) Output Terminal and the work clamp to the Positive (+) Output Terminal.
Recommended for welding thin metals or when required by specific electrode types.
This electrode is best for use with clean, bare steel and is suitable for moderate
penetration.
This electrode is usually used for building up heavy deposits of materal with less
penetration and thin sheet welding.
Electrode Recommendations
However, various electrodes require a different polarity for optimum results. Please follow the electrode manufacturer’s recommen-
dation on the correct polarity.
