See Figure A.1 for the location of the current control dial, weld output terminals, ground stud, circuit break- ers, 240 and 120 volt receptacles.
WELDING CABLE CONNECTIONS
Cable Size and Length
Be sure to use welding cables that are large enough. The correct size and length becomes especially important when you are welding at a distance from the welder.
Table A.1 lists recommended cable sizes and lengths for rated current and duty cycle. Length refers to the distance from the welder to the work and back to the welder. Cable diameters are increased for long cable lengths to reduce voltage drops.
