CAUTION
Loose welding terminal connections can cause overheating and result in the cables being fused to the
welding terminals.
13. The wire reel hub incorporates a friction brake which is adjusted during manufacture for optimum braking. If it is considered
necessary, adjustment can be made by turning the large nut inside the open end of the wire reel hub. Clockwise rotation will
tighten the brake. Correct adjustment will result in the wire reel circumference continuing no further than ¾” (20mm) after
release of the Torch Trigger Switch. The wire should be slack without becoming dislodged from the reel.
!
CAUTION
Excessive tension on the brake will cause rapid wear of mechanical wire feed parts, overheating of electri-
cal components and possibly an increased incidence of wire burnback into the contact tip.
