WELDING TIPS
SETUP
IMPORTANT:
Securely hold onto the end of the
welding wire and keep tension on
it during the following steps.
If this is not done, the welding wire
will unravel and create a tangled
“bird’s nest”, wasting wire.
9. Cut off all bent and crimped wire.
The cut end must have no burrs or
sharp edges; cut again if needed.
10. Keep tension on the wire and guide at least
12 inches of wire into the Wire Liners.
11. Swing the wire feed swing arm down, and swing
the feed tensioner up to latch it across the tip
of the arm. Make sure the Welding Wire is
resting in the bottom groove of the Feed Roller,
then turn the feed tensioner knob clockwise a
couple of turns.
After the wire is held by the tensioner,
you may release it.
12. Pull the Nozzle to remove it.
13. Turn the Contact Tip counterclockwise
and remove.
14. Lay the Torch Cable out in a straight
line so that the wire moves through it
easily. Leave the cover open, so that the
feed mechanism can be observed.
