WIRE WELDING
Connecting UWF-102 to UWI-500 TP and shielding gas The wire feeder is delivered with the required hoses and cables for connection to shielding gas and
UWI-500 TP
4m hose for shielding gas is connected here: The other end has nut with 3/8" RH threads for connection to a shielding gas regulator on a gas cylinder.
4m remote control cable for connection to the back side of UWI-500 TP is connected here: The 4m connection cable for welding current is connected here:
NOTE:
Correct polarity for the welding process must be selected when connecting the welding cables to correct polarity for welding and return at the power source.
