PUSH-PULL TORCH PG4000 / PG4045, PW5000 / PW5045: How to Feed Welding Wire
a) Disconnect Power to the MIG/MAG equipment.
b) Ensure the Drive Roll in the MIG/MAG equipment, and PUSH-PULL Torch are marked with the
same diameter size as the
Welding Wire
you are about to feed thru the PUSH-PULL Torch.
c) Remove the
Nozzle (1)
using a twisting pull action and unscrew the
Contact Tip (2)
.
d) Fit the
Welding Wire
spool as described in the MIG/MAG equipment operating manual.
e) Connect the PUSH-PULL Torch per in Section 6.03 then connect Power to the MIG/MAG
equipment.
f) Slide the
Wire Drive Mechanism Cover (3)
towards the back of the PUSH-PULL Torch.
g) Release the
Tension Arm (10)
off the
Hook (7)
then move the
Tension Arm (10)
away from
the
Wire Drive Mechanism
to let the
Welding Wire
to pass over the
Drive Roll (8)
.
h) With the PUSH-PULL Torch laying straight, depress the
Torch Trigger Switch (5)
to slowly
feed the
Welding Wire
until it reaches the PUSH-PULL
Drive Roll (8)
then release the
Torch
Trigger Switch (5).
NOTE 3:
Refer to SECTION 8
TROUBLESHOOTING on Page 37 if the
Welding Wire
tangles
(Birds Nest) at the MIG/MAG equipment Drive Roll OR the PUSH-PULL Torch Drive Roll.
i) Depress the
Torch Trigger Switch (5)
again to guide the
Welding Wire
into the
Outlet Guide
(9)
then release the
Torch Trigger Switch (5).
j) Push the
Tension Arm (10)
over the
Hook (7)
to move the
Pressure Arm Assy (6)
against the
Welding Wire
then depress the
Torch Trigger Switch (5)
again until the
Welding Wir
e is 75
mm (3 in.) out past the
Swan Neck
then release the
Torch Trigger Switch (5)
.
k) Slide the
Wire Drive Mechanism Cover (3)
towards the front of the PUSH-PULL Torch to
cover the
Wire Drive Mechanism
.
l) Fit the
Contact Tip (2)
, and
Nozzle (1)
to the PUSH-PULL Torch.
m) Before you start welding, test the
Wire Drive Mechanism
can feed the
Welding Wire
:
i. Point the PUSH-PULL Torch at 60 degree and 100mm (4 in.) from a flat non-conductive
material, e.g. wood, on the floor.
ii. Depress
Torch Trigger Switch
(5)
to feed
Welding Wire
on to the flat non-conductive ma-
terial, e.g. wood.
iii. If the
Welding Wire
slips on the PUSH-PULL Drive Roll (
Welding Wire
does not feed
constantly from Torch), then move the
Tension Arm (10)
over the
Hook (7)
to
Medium
or
High
positions.
iv. If the
Welding Wire
slips on the MIG/MAG equipment Drive Roll (
Welding Wire
does not
feed constantly from Torch) then adjust the Drive Roll Pressure in the MIG/MAG equip-
ment. Refer to the MIG/MAG equipment operating manual for information on how to ad-
just the Drive Roll Pressure.

PUSH-PULL TORCH: Depress Torch Trigger Switch
PUSH-PULL TORCH
QTLB-24D / QTLB-36D
PUSH-PULL TORCH PG4000 / PG4045,
PW5000 / PW5045
a) Connected the PUSH-PULL Torch to the MIG/MAG equipment as described in Section 6.03
/ Section 6.04, or Section 6.03 / Section 6.05.
b) Depressed
Torch Trigger (5)
to energized welding power,
Welding Wire
(if fitted) is driven
into PUSH-PULL torch and shielding gas flows (if gas is connected MIG/MAG equipment
and turned on) out of the gas nozzle.
DO NOT put MIG Torch near your ears or eyes when the
Torch Trigger (5)
is de-
pressed as
Welding Wire
will rapidly exit the Contact Tip then the Nozzle and
will cause serious to your ears, eyes, or skin.
Touching
Welding Wire
when electrically alive may cause fatal shocks or severe
burns.
Always wear Safety glass when operating or near MIG/MAG equipment.
