If the Arc Stabilizer is to be used for Gas-Tungsten
Arc (GTAW) Welding, install the GTAWtorch
on the
bare end of the electrode
cable supplied
with your
Arc Stabilizer
according
to instructions
provided
with the GTAW torch. The electrode cable supplied
has a plug on one end and is stripped
bare on the
other end.
CAUTION: The GTAW torch also has provisions for
connecting to a source of shielding gas° This must
be done in accordance with instructions supplied
with the GTAW torch, hoses, regulators, and gas
cylinders and is not covered in this owner's manual.

CONNECTIONS
The
High
Frequency
Arc
Stabilizer
must
be
connected
to the welder' and welding
cables as
follows:
1 Plug the electrode cable from the welder into the
"To Welder" jack of the Arc Stabilizer-,
2, Plug the electrode
cable supplied
into the "To
GTAW Torch" jack of the Arc Stabilizer
3, Place the terminal
lug on the end of the work
cable from the wetder onto the "Work
Cable
Connection"
stud of the Arc Stabilizer,.
4, Place the terminal
on the free end of the work
cable
supplied
onto
the
"Work
Cable
Connection"
stud of the Arc Stabilizer.
5, Do not overtighten,
but secure the two work
cables to the "Work
Cable
Connection"
stud
using the nut and Iockwasher
supplied
and a
7/16 wrench_
CAUTION:
Excessive torque on the "Work Cable
Connection"
stud can break the insulator.
Use two
7/16 wrenches, one to tighten the connection and
one to restrain the existing nut on the stud, so
excessive force is not transmitted to the insulator.
6. Connections
to a DC or AC/DC welder are the
same as to an AC welder
except that DC or
AC/DC welders are provided
with jacks so that
the electrode
cable can be plugged
into either
the
positive
or negative
jack
to make
the
electrode positive (reverse polarity) or electrode
negative (straight
polarity),
