6. Wire reel
Installing the reel
:
The unit is shipped with a reel cone set to be mounted
as shown in fig. 1:
1. First install a flat washer, then the spring, a flat
washer, and the male cone.
2. Install the reel with the wire feeding from the bottom
(fig. 2)
3. Finish the setup with the outer cone, then the lock
washer, and the wingnut until the reel is lightly
clamped.
4. Run the machine with the wire feed speed set to
maximum (adjust on torch). Test the tension by
jamming the wire at the nozzle. The rollers should slip
and the wire should not continue to be fed. There
should be no “birdnesting.”
ATTENTION
: Do not adjust the wingnut on the reel
too tightly as this will make the wire feed motion erratic
causing the arc to sputter.
