1. Remove the nozzle (1) and contact tip (2)
from the end of the torch assembly
(fig. E).
2. Ensure proper groove on the drive roller
is in place for the wire to be installed.
3. Remove the packaging from the wire
spool and identify the leading end of the
wire secured on the edge of the spool
Do not unhook it at this time.
4. Place the spool on the hub with the
wire passing from the bottom of spool
into the drive mechanism (fig. F).
Note: The welder can use either 4 or 8"
(10 or 20 cm) spool. The 8" (20 cm) spool
requires an adaptor. The wing nut controls
the tension on the spool.
5. Setting the wire spool tension:
a. Turn the wire spool with one hand.
b. Increase the spool tension by tightening the wing nut while turning the spool. Turn the
spool until it slows down.
c. Stop tightening the wing nut. Repeat these steps until proper spool tension is achieved.
Note: If high tension is applied to the wire spool, the wire slips on the drive roller or will
not be able to feed. If less tension is applied, the wire spool unspools itself when the trigger
is released. If the tension is too high or too low, readjust using the wing nut.
6. Disconnect the welder from the power source, and remove the leading end of the wire
from the spool.
7. Cut off any bent portion of the wire using a wire cutter.
8. Loosen the tension adjusting knob holding the drive tension arm in place and lift the
tension arm up off the drive roller.
9. Insert the wire into the inlet guide tube, and feed about 6" (15 cm) of it across the drive
roller and into the torch assembly.

WARNING!
• Always switch off the power and unplug the power cord from the AC power
source before installing the wire.
• Remove any wire or wire spool that is rusty.
• Do not weld metal thinner than 18 gauge, as doing so may burn
the metal.
• Before installing, remove any old wire from the MIG gun assem
bly to prevent
the wire from being jammed inside the gun liner.
• Use extreme caution when removing the welding nozzle, as the
contact tip
on the welder is live whenever the torch trigger is pulled.
