Adjusting the wire pressure
• The force exerted on the welding rod by the
wire pressure roller (11)
during the welding process can be set
by means of the
star grip screw to adjust the wire pressure (14)
.
• Turn the screw clockwise to increase the wire contact pressure and counterclockwise to reduce it (also note
the +/- symbols on the screw head). The force exerted by the
pressure spring
on the
wire pressure roller (11)
is thereby increased or reduced.
• Increase or decrease the wire contact pressure to optimize the welding process for different welding rod
diameters and materials.
• In any case, the effect of the setting of the wire contact pressure on the welding result should be verified by
appropriate test welds.
Reset wire contact pressure to factory setting
• If you want to reset the wire contact pressure to the factory default setting, you can use the
wire pressure
reset lever (41)
. By default, the wire contact pressure is in the middle range.
• Turn the
star grip screw (14)
counterclockwise to adjust the wire contact pressure so that there is a few milli-
meters of air under the screw head.
• Swivel the
wire pressure reset lever (41)
under the screw head of the
star handle screw
(14)
to adjust the
pressure on the pressure roll (set position).
• Rotate the
star-shaped handle screw (14)
clockwise to adjust the wire contact pressure until it touches the
wire contact reset lever (41)
.
• Swivel the
wire pressure reset lever (41)
back (basic position).
