Unscrew and remove the plastic knob (5), followed by the spring (4) and collar (3)
from the hub (1). (If the spool is already fitted during initial assembly, remove the
plastic covering).
3. Slide the spool over the hub, ensuring that it sits snugly, and replace the collar, spring
and plastic knob, tightening it sufficiently to allow the spool to rotate smoothly but
with a slight amount of braking friction. Do not over tighten as this will exert undue
pressure on the wire drive motor and may cause serious damage.
4. (Ref. Fig. 3)
Loosen the plastic knob (8) by turning
it anticlockwise, (this device maintains
pressure on the wire).
Pull, on the plastic knob, so that
the screw rod hinges out of its slot.
This releases the pivoted pressure
roller bracket (9). Raise the
bracket, in the direction of the
arrow, and pull out any wire that
has been left in the wire liner (11).
5. If you are changing the size of
wire, you must also select the
appropriate groove on the feed
roller (6) - see Fig.3A.
To change to the other groove,
undo the Hex. Socket Screw, shown
in Fig.3A, and remove the roller
from its shaft. Turn it through 180
O
,
replace it on the shaft, and adjust
so that the groove is
directly in line
with the Wire Liner, as shown. Firmly
secure it in that position with the
Hex. Socket Screw.
6. Clip the end of the wire cleanly ,
ensuring there are no burrs or sharp
edges, and,
ensuring it is straight
(see: Fig.3) , feed it through the guide
tube (10), over the channel on the
roller (6) and into the wire liner (11), by
approx. 10 - 15cm.
7. Reposition the pressure roller bracket (9) and plastic knob (8) and tighten slightly.
CAUTION:
Tightening the knob (8) too tightly will crush the wire and damage the wire
feed motor, too loose will not allow the wire to be pulled by the roller.
