How do I set up the Miller CST 280 welder for stick welding?

First, connect the input power cord to a suitable power source matching the unit's voltage and phase requirements and ensure proper grounding. Then attach the electrode holder to the positive (+) output terminal and connect the work clamp to the negative (–) output terminal. Finally, turn on the power switch to activate the unit, set the desired amperage using the control knob, select the appropriate electrode type and size, and strike the electrode against the workpiece to initiate the arc.
