3.19 Wire Reel Brake

The wire reel hub incorporates a friction brake which is adjusted during manufacture for optimum braking. If it is

considered necessary, adjustment can be made by turning the tri-lobe nut inside the open end of the wire reel hub.

Clockwise rotation will tighten the brake. (Refer to Figure 3-16).

CAUTION

Excessive tension on the brake will cause rapid wear of mechanical wire feed parts, over heating of electrical

componentry and possibly an increased incidence of wire Burnback into the contact tip.
