WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL! Make certain
the machine is unplugged from the power
receptacle. Do not plug machine in until
told to do so in these instructions.
1. Loosen the nut of the spool holder (brake drum). Re-
move the spring and the external ring.
2. Remove the plastic protection from the spool. Place it
on the spool holder again. Mount the external ring , the
spring and the plastic lock nut again. These parts form
the braking system for the wire spool. Tighten nut to
appropriate tightness. Excessive pressure strains the
wire feeding motor. Too little pressure does not allow the
immediate stop of the wire spool at the end of the weld-
ing.
!
CAUTION
Use care in handling the spooled wire as it
will tend to “unravel” when loosened from
the spool. Grasp the end of the wire firmly
and do not let go of it. Make sure that the
end of the wire is free of any burrs and is
straight.
