not energized until the gun trigger is closed. When the
gun trigger is closed the wire will begin to feed and the
welding process is started.

to the "+" terminal of the welder and work cable to
the "-" terminal of the welder. For electrode
Negative, connect the electrode cable "-" terminal
of the welder and work cable to the "+" terminal of
the welder.

rent to the wire feeder motor; it does not carry
welding current.
