INSTALLATION
INNERSHIELD PRO & MAGNUM CLASSIC GUN
install and trim the Cable liner
Installation of (KP44 and KP45 series liners)
1. Lay the gun and cable out straight on a flat surface.
2. Make sure that the set screw in the connector end is backed out
so as not to damage liner or liner bushing. Remove and save the
tip holder, contact tip and insulator from the end of the gun tube
assembly.
3. Insert a new untrimmed liner into the connector end of the cable.
Be sure the liner bushing is stenciled appropriately for the wire
size being used.
4. Be sure to fully seat the liner bushing in the connector and:
For all connector kits except K466-3, K466-4 and K613-3, tighten
the set screw in the cable connector.
<OR>
For K466-3, K466-4 and K613-3, screw in the connector cap
provided in the kit until it seats on the face of the bushing. Then
insert the appropriate piece of liner material into the connector
cap and tighten the set screw. Three pieces of liner material are
included in these connector kits to help guide the electrode
through the connector cap. The piece with the smallest inner
diameter is designed for .045" (1.2 mm) maximum diameter
electrode and the other liners fit the following wires (maximum
size) in order of increasing inside diameter: 1/16” (1.6 mm),
5/64” (2.0 mm), 3/32” (2.4 mm) and 1/8” (3.2 mm).
NOTE: The maximum wire size for a K466-3 and K466-4 is 5/64”.
Therefore the 3/32” and 1/8” liners are not included with
these kits.
5. Be sure the cable is straight and then trim the liner flush with the
end of the gun tube.
6. Remove the gun tube and trim an additional 9/16” (12.7 mm) of
material from the end of the liner (a 9/16” gage is included on
the wrench supplied with the gun).
7. Replace the gun tube and tighten the clamping screw to secure
it.
8. Reassemble the tip holder, insulator, and contact tip onto the end
of the gun tube.
ConneCt guns to wire Feeder
Connection to Miller Feeders
Using the Gun and cable assemblies which were assembled with a
K466-3 or K613-3 connection kit in the beginning of this
Installation Section will connect easily to a variety of popular Miller
wire feeders.
1. Check that the gun liner, connector cap liner, and drive rolls are
appropriate for the electrode size being used.
2. Fully push the brass connector end of the gun and cable into the
connector receptacle on the outgoing side of the feeder wire
drive. Tighten the hand screw to clamp down on the connector.
3. Insert the control cable plug from the feeder trigger circuit into
the mating socket on the gun cable feeder end handle.
Connection to Hobart Feeders
Using the Gun and cable assemblies which were assembled with a
K466-4 connection kit in the beginning of this Installation Section
will connect easily to a variety of Hobart wire feeders.
1. Check that the gun liner, connector cap liner, and drive rolls are
appropriate for the electrode size being used.
2. Fully push the brass connector end of the gun and cable into the
connector receptacle on the outgoing side of the feeder wire
drive. Tighten the hand screw to clamp down on the connector.
3. Insert the control cable plug from the feeder trigger circuit into
the mating socket on the gun cable feeder end handle.
Connection to L-Tec Adapted Feeders
Using the Gun and cable assemblies which were assembled with a
K466-5 connection kit in the beginning of this Installation Section
will connect easily to an L-Tec feeder equipped with an L-Tec
feeder connector assembly.
1. Check that the adapter and feeder outgoing guide as well as the
drive roll, are appropriate for the electrode size being used.
2. Fully push the brass connector end of the gun cable into the
brass adapter on the outgoing side of the feeder wire drive.
Secure the cable using the hand screw, set screw, or pin.
3. Insert the control cable plug from the feeder trigger circuit into
the mating socket on the gun cable feeder end handle. For
machines with a twist-lock trigger lead receptacle, if the L-Tec
gun control cable does not easily connect with the socket, the
gun control cable that came with the K466-5 kit can be used. To
do this, cut off the gun control leads as close to the forked
terminals as possible and skin back the leads 7/16" (11 mm).
Remove the twist-lock plug from the L-Tec control cable and
connect it to the K466-5 cable. Make sure the outer jacket of
the connector is caught within the plug's strain relief.
