GUN AND CABLE ASSEMBLIES
WITH STANDARD CONNECTION
The Power Feed ® 10 Dual Wire Feeder is equipped
with a factory installed K1500-2 gun connection Kit.
This kit is for guns having a Tweco™ #2-#4 connec-
tor. The Power Feed
® 10 Dual Wire Feederl has been
designed to make connecting a variety of guns easy
and inexpensive with the K1500 series of gun connec-
tion kits. Gun trigger and dual procedure lead connec-
tions connect to the single 5 pin receptacle on the
front of the feed head box. See “Gun Adapters” in
ACCESSORIES section.
GUN AND CABLE ASSEMBLIES
WITH FAST-MATE™ CONNECTION
(including the Magnum 450 Water Cooled gun)
A K489-9 adapter will install directly into the wire drive
feedplate, to provide for use of guns with Fast-Mate™
or European style gun connections. This K489-9 will
handle both standard Fast-Mate™and Dual Schedule
Fast-Mate™ guns.
Another way to connect a gun with a Fast-Mate™ or
European style gun connector to the Power Feed
® 10
Dual Wire Feeder, is to use the K489-10 Fast-Mate™
adapter kit. Installation of this adapter also requires a
K1500-1 gun connector. See “Gun Adapters” in
ACCESSORIES section.
Magnum 200 / 300 / 400 Guns
The easiest and least expensive way to use Magnum
200/300/400 guns with the Power Feed
® 10 Dual Wire
Feeder is to order them with the K466-10 connector
kit, or to buy a completely assembled Magnum gun
having the K466-10 connector (such as the K497-21
dedicated Magnum 400).
