welding equipment.
Loose connections will cause the output terminals to
overheat. The terminals may eventually melt.

For most stick, gouging, MIG and gas shielded flux cored welding
procedures, connect the wire feeder or spool gun to the Positive
(+) terminal and the work lead to the Negative terminal.
For most self-shielded flux cored and TIG procedures, connect the
electrode holder or wire feeder to the Negative (-) terminal and the
work lead to the Positive (+) terminal.

Tabulated below are copper cable sizes recommended for
different currents and duty cycles. Lengths stipulated are the

Cable sizes are increased for greater lengths primarily for the
purpose of minimizing cable drop.
