10. Welding Operation
10-1 Selection – Welding Cable
Always use welding cable of sufficient size for the desired welding amperage at the distance from the
welder that the welding will be occurring.
<Caution>
•
Welding cables should be used unstrained. The ampacity of the welding cables is decreased if
the welding cables are coiled.
10-2 Polarity
There are two welding output terminals, + and -.
Connect leads to the output terminals to correspond to the type of welding to be performed in
accordance with the following table:
(1) Welding Rod
Normal Polarity
Reverse Polarity
(2) Semi-automatic wire feeder
Normal Polarity
Reverse Polarity
10-3 Connection – Welding Cable
Danger: Electric Shock
•
Before connecting or disconnecting welding cable from the welding output terminals, stop the
engine, and remove the engine key. The person connecting or disconnecting the cable should
maintain possession of the key.
1. Stop the engine.
2. Connect the welding cable securely to the welding output terminals that are to be used.
3. After connecting the cables, close the output terminal covers before commencing to weld.
