Scott, I am assuming you are talking of the "work lead", also known as the grounding lead. This will need to be connected to the piece of metal you are welding. It is used to complete the circuit between your gun and the unit. Hope this helps.

Dont worry with a little practice and patience your mig welder will become your best friend. They do real nice work on sheet metal. Did you get a regulator with your welder. I use straight CO2 on my mig welder, seems to work okay for me. Alot of people say to use CO2/Argon mix gives cleaner welds. smile
