AVOIDING WIRE FEEDING
PROBLEMS
Wire feeding problems can be avoided by observing the
following gun handling procedures:
1. Keep the electrode cable as straight as possible when
welding or loading electrode through cable.
2. Keep cable clean by following maintenance instruc-
tions.
3. Use only clean, rust-free electrode. The Lincoln elec-
