Assemble the wire guide
Use the correct wire guide from spool to molten pool!
The wire guide has to be adjusted to the wire electrode type and diameter in order to achieve
good welding results!
• Equip the wire feeder according to wire electrode type and diameter!
• Refer to the manufacturer instructions for the right wire feed unit equipment. Refer to Annex 1 in
these operating instructions for the right EWM machine equipment.
• Use a steel liner inside the torch hose package to guide hard, unalloyed wire electrodes (steel)!
• Use a plastic liner inside the torch hose package to guide soft or alloyed wire electrodes!
