Unscrew the ball-grip knob in the
centre of the spool support of the
welding wire. If necessary, depending on the size of
the spool used, remove the bearing
spool. Remove the plastic wrap from the
new spool and place the spool on the
appropriate support.
Replace the ball-grip knob.
E F G H
Unscrew the ball-grip knobs on the wire-
feeding system and turn until the upper
wire feeder spools are raised.
Insert the wire into the inlet tube of
the wire feeder motor.
Run the wire under the wire feeder
spools all the way to the out-let of
the Euroconnector.
I L
Lower the upper spools and fasten the
plastic ball-grip knob of the wire tension
regulator.
Tighten the knob gently; if it is too
tight the wire could jam; if it is too
loose, it will be unable to feed the
wire, which will slip off. Repeat the
operation for the other knob.
C C
Please note that the hex socket (M8)
situated in the centre of the spool sup-
port is part of the wire tension system.
Tighten or loosen the hex socket
to set the correct tension: tighte-
ning too much can cause exces-
sive tension that could prevent
the spool from turning correctly.
On the other hand, if the tension
is too loose, the welding wire
could accidentally unwind.
