Assembly the wire feeder
Note:
When installing wire of a different size or composition, you will also need to
change wire settings, set the gun polarity, and, possibly, install a gas cylinder, Refer to the
below:
1. Important:
Securely hold onto the end of the Welding Wire and keep tension on it
during the following steps. If this is not done the welding wire will spring back and
creating a tangled “bird’s nest” and resulting in wasted wire.
2.
Hold the Welding Wire securely while you cut enough Wire off the end of the
Spool to remove
all bent and crimped Wire. Make sure the cut end has no burrs or
sharp edges (cut again, if needed).
3.
Loosen and lower the Tension Adjusting Knob (1a) on the Wire Feed Assembly.
Then, raise the Swing Arm (2a)
4.
Keep tension on the Welding Wire, and guide at least 12 inches of Wire into the
Wire
Feed Leader (3a).
5.
Lower the Swing Arm (2a) on the Wire Feed Assembly. Lower and tighten the
Tension Adjusting Knob (1a). Once the Wire is held in place, you may release it.
6.
Lay the Torch Cable out in a straight line so that the Welding Wire moves through it
easily.
