Ground Clamps
Connect the earth cable directly to the workpiece or to the workpiece holder (welding bench, welding grate, etc.) provided.
The welding site must lie between the two earth clamps : do not place the two earth clamps too close to the welding site and – if possible – position them symmetrically and equidistant to the welding site.
In this way you avoid a magnetic arc blowing action (sideways deflection of the arc).


Note: Steel structures, pipes, etc. may not be used as current conductor if they are not themselves the workpiece that is to be welded.
