10. Line up the wire with the correct groove in the drive roller.
11. Place the drive tension arm back above the drive roller.
12. Tighten the drive tension adjusting knob until the tension roller is applying enough force on
the wire to prevent it from slipping in the drive roller.
13. Plug in and turn the welder ON. Set the voltage switch to the voltage setting recommended for
the gauge of metal that is to be welded. Refer to the set-up chart on the back side of the wire
drive compartment.
14. Set the wire speed control. Straighten the MIG gun cable and pull the trigger in the gun
handle to feed the wire through the torch assembly
15. Turn the power switch to the OFF position. Select a contact tip having the diameter same as
the wire being used.
Note: Due to inherent variances in flux-cored welding wire, it is necessary to use a contact tip of
size larger than the wire.
16. Slide the contact tip over the wire, thread the contact tip into the end of the gun and tighten
securely.
17. Install the nozzle on the gun assembly, and cut off excess wire that extends past the end of
the nozzle.

Remove the nozzle (1) and contact tip (2) from
the end of the torch assembly. Identify the
leading end of the wire secured on the edge of
the wire spool. Place the spool on the hub with
the wire passing from the bottom of spool into
the drive mechanism.

STEP 1
Installing the wire
Press the trigger on the gun. Turn the drive
tension adjustment knob (1) clockwise, and
increase the drive tension until the wire seems
to feed smoothly without slipping.

Setting the wire tension
Operation
Hold the torch in one hand and turn the wire
speed dial with the other hand to its maximum
position. Pull the trigger (1) on the torch to
start an arc. Drag the torch toward the user
while simultaneously turning the wire speed
dial counter-clockwise.

WARNING!
Potential hazard that could result in serious injury or loss of life.
• Ensure that wire passing out of the end of the torch does not
come in contact with
the workpiece, ground clamp or any grounded material during the drive
tension setting process to reduce the risk of arc flash.
