FABRICATOR 211i INSTALLATION/SETUP
5. MIG Gun Adaptor (Euro Style)
The MIG gun adaptor is the connection point for the MIG welding gun. Connect the gun by pushing the gun
connector into the brass gun adaptor firmly and screwing the plastic nut clockwise to secure in position. To
remove the MIG gun simply reverse these directions.
6. Positive Welding Output Terminal
The positive welding terminal is used to connect the welding output of the power source to the appropriate
welding accessory such as the MIG gun (via the MIG polarity lead), electrode holder lead or work lead. Positive
welding current flows from the power source via this heavy duty bayonet type terminal. It is essential, however,
that the male plug is inserted and turned securely to achieve a sound electrical connection.
CAUTION
Loose welding terminal connections can cause overheating and result in the male plug being fused in
the bayonet terminal.
7. MIG Polarity Lead
The polarity lead is used to connect the MIG gun to the appropriate positive or negative output terminal (allowing
polarity reversal for different welding applications). In general, the polarity lead should be connected
in to the positive welding terminal (+) when using steel, stainless steel or aluminium electrode wire. When
using gasless wire, the polarity lead is generally connected to the negative welding terminal (-). If in doubt,
consult the manufacturer of the electrode wire for the correct polarity. It is essential, however, that the male
plug is inserted and turned securely to achieve a sound electrical connection.
CAUTION
Loose welding terminal connections can cause overheating and result in the male plug being fused in
the bayonet terminal.
8. Negative Welding Output Terminal
The negative welding terminal is used to connect the welding output of the power source to the appropriate
welding accessory such as the MIG gun (via the MIG polarity lead), TIG torch or work lead. Negative welding
current flows to the power source via this heavy duty bayonet type terminal. It is essential, however, that the
male plug is inserted and turned securely to achieve a sound electrical connection.
CAUTION
Loose welding terminal connections can cause overheating and result in the male plug being fused in
the bayonet terminal.
9. Remote Control Socket
The 8 pin Remote Control Socket is used to connect remote control devices to the welding power source. To
make connections, align keyway, insert plug, and rotate threaded collar fully clockwise.
