I know nothing about welders. I have never welded.
I recently bought a welder off ebay for five dollars.
It is one of those little Harbor Freight hobby welders.
Welder on ebay
I don't know if it works yet.
It came to me missing the electrode holder and the power cord plug.
I knew these would be missing when I bought it.
So I went and got a plug for the electric cord,
and I got an electrode holder and was gonna install them.
First thing I notice is I got the wrong plug.
Then I notice the ground clamp is on the wrong cable. (I think).
I am reasonable certain that the ground clamp should be on the other cable.
But before I change them I wanted to check here.
What could I possibly run into with this.
Could someone have actually welded like this and damaged it.
Could someone have done this one purpose. Why.
I need some feedback on this.
Thanks.

Here is some pictures I took of it.
The first picture shows the ground clamp and the cable it is hooked to.
The second picture shows the other cable.
The third picture is just a picture of the welder.
