Connecting welding and return cables

The power source has two outputs, a positive welding terminal (+) and a negative welding terminal (-),
for connecting welding and return cables. The output to which the welding cable is connected depends
on the welding method or type of electrode used.
Connect the return cable to the other output on the power source. Secure the return cable's contact
clamp to the workpiece, and make sure that there is a good contact between the workpiece and the
output for the return cable on the power source.
• For TIG welding, the negative welding terminal (-) is used for the welding torch and
the positive welding terminal (+) is used for the return cable.
• For MMA welding, the welding cable can be connected to the positive welding
terminal (+) or negative welding terminal (-), depending on the type of electrode used.
The connection polarity is stated on the electrode packaging.
