Coolant Connections

If so equipped, the ends of the coolant hose push 

over a barbed fitting on 

the end of the gun body and are secured by twisting the hose retainer to the 
end of the hose. The hose retainer is re-usable and can be removed and 
re-installed as needed.

The BLUE coolant supply hose pushes over a 

barbed fitting on the 

end of 

the gun body and is secured by twisting the hose retainer to the end of the 
hose. The hose retainer is re-usable and can be removed and re-installed as 
needed.The opposite end of the BLUE hose pushes into a threaded coolant 

fitting. 

The RED coolant return hose pushes over the 

barbed fitting in the 

Power 

Manifold. The opposite end of the RED hose pushes into a threaded return 
hose of the coolant recirculator.

Both the BLUE and RED threaded fittings on the end of the BLUE and RED 

hoses, are standard left-hand thread. MK Products compatible guns have 

interchangeable fittings, so you can match as needed for your cooler. Both 

types of fittings require a hose retainer.

Control Cable

A multi-conductor control cable is used on the Cobra

 

MX

  

Euro Compatible 7 

Pin.  The gun end of the cable is secured with a cable clamp and the wires 
are connected to the potentiometer, the micro switch, the motor and the gun 
body mechanically.  Slack is left in the electric cable as it exits the back of the 
gun to prevent cable and/or wire breakage.  The cabinet end has a seven pin 
"W" clocked amphenol connector.

Section B    operation

General

The Cobra

  

MX Euro Compatible 7 Pin gun maintains a constant, steady, 

uniform wire feed speed, regardless of curved or looped wire conduit.  The 
constant push exerted by the slave motor in the cabinet, combined with the 

pull of the gun motor, causes the wire to literally float friction-free through 

the wire conduit.  The 24VDC gun motor is controlled by a three and three-
quarter (3 3/4) turn potentiometer in the gun handle.

Controls and Settings

Potentiometer

The laterally-positioned potentiometer is located in 
the lower end of the handle, providing up to 800 ipm 
with 3 3/4 turns.

Micro Switch

The micro switch assembly consists of the micro 
switch, and leads. 

Trigger Sensitivity

 

The amount of trigger lever travel can be shortened 
for a quicker or more responsive action. 

A more sensitive trigger lever is produced by 
reducing the gap between the trigger lever and the 
micro switch lever. By turning-in the trigger sensitivity 
adjustment screw, it closed the gap between the 

Trigger Sensitivity Adjustment 

Screw Location

Screw adjusted out of trigger, 

pre-setting the micro-switch 

lever for shorter motion 

sensitivity.
