Wire Installation and Set Up Guide

Again the importance of smooth consistent wire feeding during MIG welding cannot be emphasized enough.

The correct installation of the wire spool and the wire into the wire feed unit is critical to achieving an even

and consistent wire feed. A high percentage of faults with mig welders emanate from poor set up of the

wire into the wire feeder. The guide below will assist in the correct setup of your wire feeder.

(1) Remove the spool retaining nut.

(3) Fit the wire spool onto the spool holder

fitting the locating pin into the location hole

on the spool. Replace the spool retaining

nut tightly

(2) Note the tension spring adjuster

and spool locating pin.

(7) Check that the wire passes through

the centre of the outlet guide tube without

touching the sides. Loosen the locking

screw and then loosen the outlet guide

tube retaining nut too make adjustment if

required. Carefully retighten the locking nut

and screw to hold the new position.

NOTE: MIG 165 not geared

(4) Snip the wire carefully, be sure to hold the

wire to prevent the spool uncoiling. Carefully

feed the wire into the inlet guide tube of the

wire feed unit.

(5) Feed the wire through the drive roller and

into the outlet guide tube of the wire feeder.

NOTE: MIG 165 not geared

(6) Lock down the top pressure roller and

apply a medium amount of pressure us-

ing the tension adjustment knob

NOTE: MIG 165 not geared

(8) A simple check for the correct drive tension

is to bend the end of the wire over hold it about

100mm from your hand and let it run into your

hand, it should coil round in your hand without

stopping and slipping at the drive rollers,

increase the tension if it slips.

(8) The weight and speed of the wire spool

turning creates an inertia that can cause the

spool to run on and the wire loop over the

side of the spool and tangle. if this happens

increase the pressure on the tension spring

inside the spool holder assembly using the

tension adjustment screw.
