Arc Welder Hand peice

Post by Suza »

So I have used the search function on here, the internet in general and youtube cause you can learn anything on youtube :lol: and have come up short so I thought I would ask the question.

How do I put a new electrode holder on my arc welder?

The cheap nasty one that came on it has given up the ghost so I have got a new twist one and I cant for the life of me figure out how to attach the welding cable to it.

Thanks for any help

I take it you are talking about a hand piece that looks like a big vibrator with a rotating head that holds the electrode. just pull the big plastic collar off,(this is the part you would hold when welding) and slide the cable though. you now should be looking at a brass collar with a bloody great allen key in it an spring,push the cable into it and do up allen key,slip large plastic collar back up onto brass unit,sweet as.Hope this makes sense. :D :o
