5-6. Connecting To Weld Output Terminals

AC Weld Output Terminals

Connect work and electrode cables

to weld terminals. (Polarity does not

matter for AC welding.)

Failure to properly connect

weld cables may cause ex-

cessive heat and start a fire,

or damage your machine.

Weld Output Terminal

Supplied Weld Output

Terminal Nut

Weld Cable Terminal

Copper Bar

Remove supplied nut from weld

output terminal. Slide weld cable

terminal onto weld output terminal

and secure with nut so that weld

cable terminal is tight against cop-

per bar. Do not place anything be-

tween weld cable terminal and

copper bar. Make sure that the

surfaces of the weld cable termi-

nal and copper bar are clean.

Tools Needed: 3/4 in

Do not place anything between weld cable terminal and copper bar.
