•
Lay out the torch hose package in an extended position
•
Loosen the knurled nuts A2 on the wire feed and swivel them outwards at the sides.
The clamping elements B2 with the counter-rollers swivel upwards automatically.
•
Unwind the wire electrode in a clockwise direction from the wire spool D2 and insert it through the
wire inlet nipple E2, the grooves in the drive rollers and the guide tube into the capillary tube and
teflon core with the guide tube C2.
•
Press the clamping elements B2 with the counter-rollers back downwards
(wire electrode must lie in the groove of the drive roller).
•
Swivel the knurled nuts A2 which set the counter-pressure back upwards.
The pressing force must be adjusted with the knurled nuts such that the wire electrode is
conveyed but slips when the wire spool jams!
•
Press the wire inching button until the wire electrode projects from the welding torch.
Danger of injury!
When inching the wire, never point the torch at persons or animals!
8.5.3 Setting the Spool Brake
Only tighten the spool brake so far that the wire spool no longer
free-wheels when the torch trigger is released!
•
Tighten the hexagonal inner bolt
C1
in the wire spool whilst holding the nut
B1
still.
