Wire Feeder Connection; Earth Return Cable Connection - Kemppi X3 Operating Manual

3.4.2 Wire feeder connection

On the front side of the power source, there are connectors for the interconnection cable
and the control cable for connecting the power source to the wire feeder.
To connect the wire feeder to the power source, complete the following steps:
1. Attach the wire feeder's welding current cable to the plus (+) connector of the
power source. Hand tighten the connector with a clockwise push and twist action to
lock.
2. Attach the wire feeder control cable plug to the control socket of the power source.
3. Connect the shielding gas hose to the gas bottle or to the shielding gas distribution
system.
Normally the wire feeder should be connected to the plus (+) pole. However, with
some filler wires and shielding gases, you should connect it to the minus (-) pole, and the
earth return cable to the plus pole.
