5.
Unscrew the pressure roller
bracket securing knob (A, Fig
7), sufficient for it to be pulled
out of its holder. This releases
the pressure roller bracket (B)
which, may then be pulled up
to expose the welding wire.
IMPORTANT!
Before fitting ANY wire, ensure the correct groove on the roller is in place.
(see page 20)
Fig.9
6.
Pull out the end of the wire
from the rim of the spool,
taking care NOT to release it.
The spool is wound firmly and
should remain this way.
Ensuring the wire is straight and
not kinked in any way, clip off
the end with a sharp pair of
snips ensuring there are no
burrs or sharp edges.
Proceed to feed it through the
guide tube (C, Fig.8), over the
groove on the roller (D), and
into the wire liner, by about 10
- 15 cm.
7.
Reposition the pressure roller bracket and securing knob (A) and tighten
slightly.
Tightening the knob (A) 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.
8.
(Ref. Fig 9)
Remove the torch shroud by
twisting it anti clockwise and
pulling it off, then unscrew the
contact tip.
Should any wire protrude from the
tip....pull it out completely and
discard.
