Fig.6
3.
Turn the plastic knob with cam (7,) to the
position shown in Fig. 5, so that the latch is
unlocked, and pull off the collar (4).
4.
Slide the spool on to the shaft, ensuring
that the Peg ‘A’ locates snugly in locating
hole ‘B’, ensuring the direction of feed of
the wire is in the direction of the arrow.
Replace the collar - 4, (5kg spool ONLY),
and turn the Plastic knob with cam (7) to
the position shown in Fig.6 thereby locking
the spool on the shaft.
NOTE: The Plastic knob, item 7 Fig.4 is also used
to apply slight tension to the wire spool. This
prevents the spool from running freely, which
could cause the wire to unspool, creating a
‘birds nest’ tangle within the side compartment.
Adjust by hand and test the tension.
