• Loosen and lower the plastic knob (A) (Fig.5). Release the upper roll (B) of the feeder. Extract 

the wire from the torch liner.

• When the wire is disconnected, grasp it with pliers so that it cannot exit from the spool. If 

necessary, straighten it before inserting it in the wire input guide (C). Insert the wire on the 

lower roll (D) and in the torch liner (E).

  WARNING:

 keep the torch straight when feeding a new wire through the liner.

Make sure the wire is cut cleanly (no burrs or angles) and that at least 1/2” from the

end is straight (no curves). Failure to follow these instructions could cause damage

to the liner.

• Lower the upper roll (B) and place the knob (A). Tighten slightly. If tightened too much, the 

wire gets locked and could cause motor damage. If not tightened enough, the rolls will not 

feed the wire.

   When changing the wire diameter being used, or replacing          

the wire feed roll, be sure that the correct groove for the wire

diameter selected is inside, closest to the machine. The wire

is driven by the inside groove. Feed rolls are marked on

the side identifying the groove nearest that side.

• Close the side panel of the machine. Connect the power supply

cable to the outlet. Turn on the switch. Press the torch

switch. The wire fed by the wire feeding motor at variable speed

must slide through the liner. When it exits from the torch neck,

release the torch switch. Turn off the machine. Mount the contact

tip and the nozzle.

   When checking the correct exit of the wire from the torch do not

bring your face near the torch. You may run the risk of being

wounded by the outgoing wire. Do not bring your fingers close

to the feeding mechanism when working! The rolls, when moving,

may crush the fingers. Periodically, check the rolls. Replace them

when they are worn and compromise the regular feeding of the wire.

   Before performing this procedure, be sure the gas supply line and input power cable are 

 disconnected.

• Disconnect the torch from the machine.

• Place it on a flat surface and carefully remove the brass nut.

• Pull the liner out of the hose.

• Install the new liner and mount the brass nut again.

In case you are replacing a Teflon or graphite wire liner, follow these instructions:

• Install the new liner and insert the wire liner collet and the O ring.

• Mount the brass nut.

• Cut the wire liner close to the brass nut

WARNING:

 the length of the new wire liner must be the same as the liner you have just 

pulled out of the hose.

• Connect the torch to the machine and install the wire into the feeding system.
