MIG GUN ADAPTOR (EURO STYLE)
2
The MIG Gun adaptor is the connection point for the MIG welding gun. Connect the gun by aligning and pushing the connector into
the brass gun adaptor firmly and screwing the plastic nut clockwise to secure in position. To remove the MIG Gun simply reverse
these directions. Refer to Section 5.02
MIG GUN POLARITY LEAD
3
The polarity lead is used to connect the MIG Gun to the appropriate positive or negative output terminal (allowing polarity reversal
for different welding applications). The polarity lead should be connected in to the positive welding terminal (+) when using solid
steel, stainless steel or aluminium MIG wire. When using gasless wire, the polarity lead is connected to the negative welding
terminal (-). If in doubt, consult the manufacturer of the electrode wire for the correct polarity. It is essential, that the male plug is
inserted and turned securely to achieve a sound electrical connection.
CAUTION
Loose welding terminal connections can cause overheating and result in the male plug being fused in the
twist & lock terminal, known as a DINSE Connector.
REMOTE CONTROL SOCKET 8 PIN
4
The 8 pin Remote Control Socket is used to connect remote control devices (i.e. Spool Gun or TIG Torch) to the welding power
source. To make connections, align keyway, insert plug, and rotate threaded collar fully clockwise.

POSITIVE OUTPUT WELDING TERMINAL
5
The positive welding terminal is used to connect the welding output of the power source to the appropriate welding accessory such
as the MIG Gun (via the MIG Gun polarity lead), electrode holder lead or work lead. Positive welding current flows from the power
source via this twist & lock terminal, known as a DINSE Connector. It is essential, that the male plug is inserted and turned securely
to achieve a sound electrical connection.
NEGATIVE OUTPUT WELDING TERMINAL
6
The negative welding terminal is used to connect the welding output of the power source to the work lead. Most General Purpose
electrodes are connected with work lead (with Clamp) to negative. Consult the electrode manufacturer' s information for the correct
polarity. Welding current flows from the workpiece via this twist & lock terminal, known as a DINSE Connector to the power source. It is
essential, that the male DINSE type plug is inserted and turned securely to achieve a sound electrical connection. Do not over Tighten.
CAUTION
Loose welding terminal connections can cause overheating and result in the male plug being fused in the DINSE terminal.
