Take care:
◆
The wire speed generated by the feeder is relatively fast and safety during
the installation and adjustment process is of prime importance. Never point
the welding torch nozzle to a face or other body part. The speed of the wire
exiting the nozzle can cause a nasty jab.
Installation Steps
a.
Open the tensioner
roller.
b. Pull approximately
150mm wire from the
spool.
c. Feed the wire through
the wire feeder, into the
torch and tighten the wire
by hand.
d. Close the tensioner
and feed the wire by
pressing the manual
wire-feed button.
e. Rotate the pressure
regulating handle to adjust
the tension on the welding
wire in accordance with
the guideline parameters
in table 6.3.
f. Remove the contact tip
to allow the wire to freely
feed through the torch.
