Connection of welding and return cable

The power source has two outputs, a negative [-] terminal (5) and a positive [+]
terminal (6), for connecting welding and return cables.
For SMAW process the output to which the welding cable is connected depends on
the type of electrode, please refer to electrode packaging for information relating to
the correct electrode polarity.
For optional L-GTAW process, connect the torch power cable to the negative [-]
terminal (5). Connect gas inlet nut to a regulated shielding gas supply.
Connect the return cable to the remaining welding terminal on the power source.
Secure the return cable's contact clamp to the work piece and ensure that there is
good contact.
