Hi Cindy, Did I not mention that in the video...Anyway the ground is the same as the earth. The ground goes to the metal you are welding. The other end screws onto the welding machine. On the red machine in the video here there is a picture. One picture shows the ground clamp connection, the other shows the electrode or stinger conection.
