3.5 Setup for Welding

Conventional operating procedures apply when using the Welding Power Source, i.e.
connect work lead directly to work piece and electrode lead is used to hold electrode.
Wide safety margins provided by the design ensure that the Welding Power Source will
withstand short-term overload without adverse effects. The welding current range
values should be used as a guide only. Current delivered to the arc is dependent on the
welding arc voltage, and as welding arc voltage varies between different classes of
electrodes, welding current at any one setting would vary according to the type of
electrode in use. The operator should use the welding current range values as a guide
then fine tune the welding current to suit the application.

3.6 MIG (GMAW) Setup

This set up is known as DC Electrode Positive (straight polarity). This is
commonly used for DC MIG welding on most materials such as steel and
stainless steel.

OPEN THE LEFT SIDE PANEL (WHEN FACING THE FRONT
OF THE WELDER) TO ACCESS THE TERMINALS AND
VERIFY THE PROPER CONNECTION.
