Installing Your Spool Gun
If using a Forney power supply or welding machine, please follow these steps:
•
Step 1: Open the rear Euro housing on the end of the power cable that plugs into the welding machine. This is
accomplished by rotating Cap 1 and Cap 2 counterclockwise. This will allow you to remove half of the Euro housing
and access the Model Selector Switch.
If using the Forney 190 MP (#324), or Forney 220 MP, the Model Selector
Switch needs to be in the “Off” position. If using a Forney 242 MIG or 270 MIG, the Model Selector Switch needs
to be in the “On” position.
Once finished, tuck the switch back inside of the housing and close the cover by re-
installing the removable half of the Euro housing and turning both caps clockwise until they seat into position.
•
Step 2: Ensure that your power supply or welding machine is turned off.
•
Step 3: Ensuring proper alignment, thread the machine end of the spool gun power cable into the Euro Connect
receptacle on the front of your welding machine.
•
Step 4: Ensuring proper alignment, thread the 7-pin Amphenol™ connector into the Amphenol™ socket on the front
of your welding machine. TIP: The Amphenol™ plug of your spool gun has an alignment notch. When installed
correctly, this notch will be at the top center of the Amphenol™ socket.
If your welding machine or power supply does not have automatic accessory recognition capabilities
:
•
Step 5: Inside the cabinet of your Forney welding machine, locate a red switch with “remote” and “local” options.
To operate a spool gun, this switch must be set to “remote.” If this has been done correctly, the machine will display
“SPE.”
If using a power supply or welding machine that was not manufactured by Forney Industries:
•
Please refer to your power supply or welding machine manufacturer’s instructions.
