Most popular rods have a positive welding electrode and negative earth. If you are using
special electrodes check the manufacturer’s recommendation for correct polarity of welding
electrodes and connect as required.
1. Ensure machine is setup as previously stated
2. Fit desired electrode size in electrode holder
3. Switch on machine
4. Set Mig/MMA switch to MMA position
5. Select desired welding power
6. Touch electrode on to workpiece and the arc will start
When the machine is switched on, output terminals are always live, take care and do
