9) Install the longer guide tube in the rear hole near
the incoming drive roll. Slide the tube in until it
almost touches the roll. Tighten in place.
10) Install the remaining guide tube in the front hole.
Be certain that the proper plastic insert is used.
Fine wire chisel point tube must have largest
radius next to drive roll. Tighten in place.
11) Re-latch both quick release levers.
12) To start new electrode, straighten the first
6” (150mm) and cut off the first 1” (25mm). Insert
free end through the incoming tube. Press gun
trigger & push wire into the drive roll.
TO SET IDLE ROLL PRESSURE: See Idle Roll
Pressure Setting, in “Operation” section.
Gun and Cable Assemblies with Standard
L. E. Connections
GMAW Guns
An expanding line of Magnum gun and cable assem-
blies are available to allow welding with solid and
cored electrodes using the GMAW process. See the
appropriate Magnum literature for descriptions of the
200 to 550 ampere air cooled gun and cables that are
available. Gun cable lengths range from 10 ft (3.0m)
to 25 ft (7.6m) and feed electrode sizes .025” (0.6mm)
to 5/64” (2.0mm). The entire line of Magnum Fast-
Mate gun and cable assemblies can also be used by
installing a K489-2 Fast-Mate adapter kit.
INNERSHIELD Guns
K126 and K115 gun and cable assemblies are avail-
able to allow welding with Innershield electrodes. Gun
cable lengths range from 10 ft. (3.0 m) to 15 ft. (4.5
m). The 350 ampere K126 with Synergic 7F will feed
electrode sizes .062” (1.6 mm) to 5/64” (2.0 mm). The
450 ampere K115 with Synergic 7F will feed 5/64” (2.0
mm) electrode.
Three smoke extraction gun and cable assemblies are
available, 250 ampere K309, 350 ampere K206 and
the 500 ampere K289. All gun and cable lengths are
15 ft. (4.5 m). Both the K206 and K309 with Synergic
7F will feed electrode sizes .062” (1.6 mm) to 5/64’
(2.0 mm). K289 with Synergic 7F will feed 5/64” (2.0
mm) electrode. These guns require the use of the
K184 vacuum unit for use with Synergic 7F.
Gun Cable Connection:
Lay the cable out straight. Insert the connector on the
welding conductor cable into the brass conductor
block on the front of the Synergic 7F gearbox. Make
sure it is all the way in and tighten the hand wheel.
Keep this connection clean and bright. Connect the
trigger control cable polarized plug into the mating 5
cavity receptacle on the front of the Synergic 7F Wire
Feed Unit.
For GMA Gun Cables:
Install the barbed fitting and union nut to the 5/8-18
female inert gas fitting on the front of the Synergic 7F
wire drive. Connect the 3/16” I.D. gas hose from the
gun cable to the barbed fitting. When the gun is to be
removed, this fitting can be easily detached by loosen-
ing the union nut.

Kit)
GMAW Guns
An expanding line of Magnum Fast-Mate™ air cooled
and water cooled gun and cable assemblies are avail-
able to allow welding with solid and cored electrodes
using the GMAW process. See the appropriate
Magnum literature for descriptions of the 200 to 400
ampere air cooled gun and cables that are available,
as well as the Magnum “Super Cool” 450 ampere
water cooled gun and cable. Gun cable lengths range
from 10 ft (3.0m) to 25 ft (7.6m) and feed electrode
sizes .025” (0.6mm) to 5/64” (2.0mm).
An expanding line of Magnum X-Tractor gun and
cable assemblies provides fume extraction capability
for welding with solid and cored electrodes using the
GMAW process. See the appropriate Magnum litera-
ture for descriptions of the 250 to 400 ampere air
cooled gun and cables that are available. Gun cable
lengths range from 10 ft (3.0m) to 15 ft (4.5m) and
feed electrode sizes .035” (0.9mm) to 1/16” (1.6mm).
These guns require the use of either the K173-1 or
K184
# vacuum units.
# Requires S14927-8 connector hose and an S20591
hose adapter.
