QUICK DISCONNECT PLUG (FOR STICK ELEC- TRODE CABLE and WORK CABLE)

A quick disconnect system is used for the welding cable connections. The stick electrode cable will need to have a plug attached.

1.Cut off welding cable lug, if present.

2.Remove 1.00 in. (25mm) of welding cable insula- tion.

3.Slide rubber boot onto cable end. The boot end may be trimmed to match the cable diameter. Use soap or other nonpetroleum-based lubricant to help slide the boot over the cable, if needed.

7.Slide rubber boot over brass plug. The rubber boot must be positioned to completely cover all electri- cal surfaces after the plug is locked into the recep- tacle.

Obtain the necessary inert shielding gas. Connect the cylinder of gas with a pressure regulator and flow gage. Install a gas hose between the regulator and gas inlet (located on the rear of the welder). The gas inlet has a 5/16-18 right hand female thread; CGA #032.

WARNING

CYLINDER could explode if damaged.

• Keep cylinder upright and chained to a support.

•Keep cylinder away from areas where it could be damaged.

•Never allow the torch or welding electrode to touch the cylinder.

•Keep cylinder away from live electrical cir-

cuits.
