Designations on the reconnect panel LOW, MID, and
HIGH correspond to the nameplated input voltages of
a triple voltage welder. Dual voltage welders use only
LOW and HIGH.
EXAMPLE: On a 208/230/460 volt welder, LOW is
208V, MID is 230V, and HIGH is 460V.
3. Make sure all connections are tight. Replace the
case side and all screws.

See Figure B.1 for the location of the work and elec-
trode terminals, the gas and optional water solenoids,
and the Remote Receptacle.The Square Wave TIG
275 is equipped with Twist-Mate connectors for the
electrode and work connection.
WORK CABLE CONNECTION
The Twist-Mate connection allows fast and reliable
work cable attachment to the work terminal of the
Square Wave TIG 275 welding power supply.
Assemble the work cable by attaching the correct
Twist-Mate adapter and work clamp to an adequately-
sized welding cable. The Twist-Mate cable plug includ-
ed with the machine is designed to accept a welding
cable size of of #2 to #1. See Table A.1 and A.2 for rec-
ommended sizes and corresponding hardware.

Assemble the correct Twist-Mate-adapter plug to the
work cable as follows:
1. Skin the cable jacket to 1.00 in (25.4 mm) for a #2
thru 2/0 (35 thru 70 mm2) cable. Skin the cable
jacket to 1.50 in (38.1 mm) for a 2/0 thru 3/0 (70 thru
95 mm2) cable.
2. If necessary, trim the cable end of the rubber boot
to match the diameter of the cable.
3. Slide the rubber boot onto the skinned cable end.
Use soap for lubricant if required.

4. Slide the copper tube into the brass plug. Insert
skinned cable into the copper tube.
COPPER TUBE
5. Tighten set screw(s) to collapse copper tube.
Screw(s) must apply firm pressure against welding
cable.
6. Slide the rubber boot over the brass plug. The rub-
ber boot must be positioned to completely cover all
electrical surfaces after the plug is locked into the
receptacle. For more details see S18737PRINT or
