Liner Collet
2. While the MIG gun is laying out straight, measure the amount of liner potrud-
ing from the rear connector according to the correct measuring points as shown
in Fig. 5 (“Initial measuring points”). Record this measured dimension as “x”.
Remove the liner and trim off the correct amount (dimension “x” -1mm or -2mm
based on feeder connector type; Lincoln, Miller or Euro). Insert the liner back
into the MIG gun and verify the correct 2mm gap or 1mm protrusion at the liner
collet as shown in Fig. 5 for the various rear connection types.
3. Install the liner nut and tighten. The liner should now have a slight compres-
sion inside the cable to remain under tension as the cable is moved about the
workspace.
4. For pass-through liners
(5)
which extend through the retention nuts, the liner
should be cut flush with the retention nut on Lincoln and Hobart/Tweco direct
rear connections. For Miller rear connections, the liner should protrude 2mm (2
coils) beyond the liner nut as shown in Fig. 6.

- Cut the steel liner such that the liner extends as close to the drive rolls as possible;
typically 2 coils beyond the liner retention nut.
