2.5 Preparing filler wire
Sharp edges on the filler wire tip may damage the wire liner.
Cut off any deformed section and with a fine file or abrasive cloth, remove any sharp edges from the filler wire
end, before loading into the subfeeder.
Ensure that the end of the filler wire is straight and without any bends or edges.
1.
Straighten approximately 20 cm of filler wire and, in the wire feeder, guide the filler wire through the
inlet tube and middle wire guide tube to the outlet, which feeds the filler wire to the subfeeder and the
welding gun.
2.
Push the filler wire manually so that the wire will reach the wire liner (about 20 cm).
3.
Close the pressure arms in the wire feeder so that the filler wire is locked between the feed rolls. Ensure
that the filler wire sits in the feed roll grooves.
