To check that the feed pressure is set correctly, you can feed out the wire against an
insulated object, e.g. a piece of wood.
When you hold the torch approx. 5 mm from the piece of wood (fig. 1) the feed rollers should
slip.
If you hold the torch approx. 50 mm from the piece of wood, the wire should be fed out and
bend (fig. 2).
