A quick disconnect system is used for the welding
cable connections. The stick electrode cable will need
to have a plug attached.
1. Cut off welding cable lug, if present.
2. Remove .75 in. (19mm) of welding cable insulation.
3. Slide rubber boot onto cable end. The boot end
may be trimmed to match the cable diameter. Use
soap or other nonpetroleum-based lubricant to
help slide the boot over the cable, if needed.
4. Cut 45-50% of the copper strands back 1/4” (6
mm).
5. Fold copper strands over cut strands and insert
into ferrule.
6. Slide the copper ferrule into the brass plug.
7. Tighten set screw to collapse copper tube. Screw
must apply pressure against welding cable. The
top of the set screw will be well below the surface
of the brass plug after tightening.
8. Slide rubber boot over brass plug. The rubber boot
must be positioned to completely cover all electri-
cal surfaces after the plug is locked into the recep-
tacle.

Obtain the necessary inert shielding gas. Connect the
cylinder of gas with a pressure regulator and flow
gage. Install a gas hose between the regulator and
gas inlet (located on the rear of the welder). The gas
inlet has a 5/16-18 right hand female thread; CGA
#032.
