WARNING!
Risk of crushing or pinching when replacing the wire bobbin! Do not use safety
gloves when inserting the welding wire between the feed rollers.
NOTE!
Make sure the correct feed/pressure rollers are used. For more information see
WEAR PARTS.
NOTE!
Remember to use the correct contact tip in the welding torch for the wire diameter
used. The torch is fitted with a contact tip for 0.8 mm (0.030 in.) wire. If you use
another diameter you must change the contact tip and drive roll. The wire liner
fitted in the torch is recommended for welding with Fe and SS wires.
