Adjusting nut
• Extend and lay out the torch hose package.
• Carefully unwind the welding wire from the wire spool and insert through the wire feed nipples up to
the wire feed rollers.
• Press the inching push-button (the drive catches the welding wire and automatically guides it to the
welding torch outlet).
A prerequisite for the automatic inching process is the correct preparation of the wire guide,
especially in the capillary and wire guide tube area .
• The contact pressure has to be adjusted separately for each side (wire inlet/outlet) at the feed roll
tensioner setting nuts depending on the welding consumable used. A table with the setting values can
be found on a sticker near the wire drive.
Version 1: left hand mounting
Version 2: right hand mounting

Automatic inching stop

soon it touches the workpiece.
