• The fast connections of the electrode holder and the ground
clamp are inserted and turned one quarter of a turn in a
clockwise direction in the outlets set in the front panel to
secure perfectly.
• Press the process selector to
set the welder working in
SMAW mode (coated
electrode).
The upper LED in

the selector will light on.
Reverse Polarity (A)
• Connect the grounding clamp cable to the negative (-)
output clamping screw of the welder.
• Connect the grounding clamp (C) to the work piece.
• Connect the electrode holder cable to the positive (+)
output clamping screw of the welder.
This configuration generates more heat in the electrode,
which produce more penetration with basic electrodes,
making it ideal to weld thick pieces.
Direct Polarity (B)
• Connect the grounding clamp cable to the positive (+)
output.
• Connect the grounding clamp (C) to the work piece.
• Connect the electrode holder cable to the negative (-) output.
This configuration generates more heat in the work piece, thus
producing less malformation in the work piece and narrower joints
making it ideal for thin pieces.
• Connect the power cable (D) to the power network to the work
voltage (127 V
/ 220 V ).
