6. Replace the drive roller cover back onto the drive spindle with the opening
facing right.
7. Ensure that the flanges at the base of the drive roller cover, seat fully into
the circular recess in the main moulding and then rotate the drive roller
cover through 90° to lock it in place.
THREADING THE WIRE
IMPORTANT: Do not release the tension on the wire as it will unravel causing
feeding problems later.
1. Pull out the end of the wire from the spool, taking care not to release the
tension.
• We recommend you cut off and discard the first 10 cm of wire from
the spool to avoid any burrs and then straighten the next few
centimetres of wire to help with feeding.
2. Loosen the tensioning knob and pivot it towards you.
3. Lift up the arm.
4. Feed the wire through the guide,
over the drive roller and into the
torch liner.
• Push about 10-15 cm into the
torch liner.
5. Lower the arm and refit the
tensioning knob.
• Tighten the tensioning knob
sufficiently to hold in position,
but do not fully tighten.
NOTE:
Correct tension will allow the wire to feed into the torch liner
smoothly but will allow the drive roller to slip in the event of a
blockage.
6. Close the side panel of the welder.
7. Pull off the torch shroud with a twisting movement, then unscrew the
contact tip.
8. Connect the welder to the power supply and switch ON.
9. Set the ‘WIRE FEED’ rotary control on the front panel to position 7 or 8 and
squeeze the trigger on the torch body.
• The wire will feed through the hose until it appears at the torch tip.
• Ensuring the hose is free from kinks during this process will assist the
wire in its passage through the hose liner.
