Negative (−) Weld Output
Terminal
For Direct Current Electrode Positi-
ve (DCEP), connect work cable to
Negative (−) terminal and electrode
cable (Stick) or torch cable (TIG) to
Positive (+) terminal.
For Direct Current Electrode Nega-
tive (DCEN), reverse cable con-
nections.
If unit has optional polarity switch,
connect work cable to Work
terminal and electrode or torch
cable to electrode terminal.
