17. To check the wire’s drive tension, feed the wire
against a piece of wood from 2 to 3 inches away.
If the wire stops instead of bending,
turn the welder OFF, unplug it,
slightly tighten the feed tensioner clockwise,
and try again.
If the wire bends from the feed pressure,
then the tension is set properly.
