welding torch. The wire should be rust free and clean, oil or other lubricant
should not be used. Keep the wire liner inside the torch clean and change from
time to time.
Installing the wire spool
1. Make sure the back panel main power switch is set to OFF.
2. Select the appropriate wire for the welding job. Wameta MULTIMIG 180 PRO
is designed to fit a 200 mm (5kg) or 100mm (1kg) wire spool.
3. Remove the wire spool tensioning screw, spring and spool plate from the wire
spool hub (Picture 1). Pull the screw toward the rear of the wire compartment to
unlock the latch / tension screw of the wire feed unit. This releases the pressure
arm. (Picture 2).

Insert the spool into the spool bracket, insert the spool carrier disc, spring and
the spool tensioning screw. Tighten the screw so that the wire spool stops within
¼ turn when the spool is spun. Check that the size and shape of the wire wheel
groove correspond to the filler wire used. Release the end of the thread from the
loop of the reel. NOTE! be careful not to let the thread run out of the reel with
spring force. Especially protect
your eyes from injuries caused by the sharp
wire
end. Straighten and / or cut the end of the wire so that it is straight. If necessary,
file the end of the wire round. This is especially necessary when using polyamide
or teflon wire liners. The sharp end of the wire easily punctures the plastic
material wire liner. Put the pressure arm against the wire and lock it in place with
the latch. The pressure arm tension is adjusted so that the wire runs smoothly,
without too much surface pressure damaging the wire and removing particles
