Welding and earth return cable connections

2.4.1 Choosing welding polarity in MMA welding

You can change the welding polarity by choosing (+) or (–) cable connector. Typically, in MMA
welding, the welding cable is connected to the positive (+) pole connection socket and the
earth return cable to the negative (-) pole connection socket.

2.4.2 Choosing welding polarity in TIG welding

In TIG welding the welding cable must be connected to the negative (-) pole connection
socket and the earth return cable to the positive (+) pole connection socket.

2.4.3 Earthing

If possible, always fasten the clamp of the earth return cable directly onto work piece.
1. Clean contact surface of the clamp from paint and rust.
2. Fasten the clamp properly, so that contact surface is as large as possible.
3. Check that the clamp is fastened firmly.
