Changing between the grooves simply requires reversing the

cally require adjustment. Over-tightening tension can result
in distortion of welding wire.

1. Unscrew drive roll tension access cover.

2. Using M4 allen wrench supplied in tool kit, rotate drive roll

tension adjustment screw clockwise to increase tension,
counter-clock-wise to descrease tension.

NOTE: Make sure to lubricate o-rings before installing cable.
