2.7 Loading filler wire into subfeeder
1.
Straighten the subfeeder cable and avoid tight bends on the cable.
2.
Ensure that the wire feed mechanism pressure arms are closed and correctly adjusted in both, the wire
feeder and the subfeeder.
3.
Press the Wire inch button on the X8 wire feeder panel.
The system will automatically load the filler wire to the subfeeder until the wire hits the feed rolls or
when 30 meters of wire has been fed from the wire feeder. If you want to stop the automatic filler wire
feed, press the Wire inch button again.
Also shielding gas is automatically run into the system when subfeeder is connected and Wire inch is
used. If the welding is not started immediately, the gas may evaporate from the subfeeder system. In
this case, to ensure faultless weld quality, release gas into the system before welding by pressing the Gas
test button on the wire feeder panel.
