1.

Wire Drive Tension Pressure Adjustment

 

–

 

Permits increasing or

 

decreasing the pressure applied to the top drive roll.

2.

Wire Drive Spindle

 

–

 

Supports a 4-inch or 8-inch spool of wire.

 

The center wing-nut can be adjusted to increase tension on the

 

wire.

3.

Negative Output Receptacle 

–

 

Permits attaching a work lead,

 

electrode stinger, or the center wire drive polarity lead to DC

 

negative polarity. Rotate connector clockwise to lock into place.

4.

Positive Output Receptacle

 – Permits attaching a work lead, 

electrode stinger or the center wire drive polarity lead to DC positive 

polarity. Rotate clockwise to lock into place.
