Drive Roll
The drive roll consists of two different
grooves. The stamped markings on the end

on the opposite side of the drive roll. The
groove closest to the motor shaft is the
proper groove to thread (see Section 4-11).

VK (Knurled) groove is used for flux
cored wire and V groove is used for solid
wire.

push drive roll completely over retaining pin,
then rotate drive roll (1/4 turn) to closed slot.
