6. Spool and Supply Chute Loading the Spool
When viewing from the back of the machine, the spool of Twin Loop wire will rotate in a
clockwise direction (See figure 6-1). For loading a new spool, the following steps are
recommended:
1. Place the spool onto the two rollers with the wire unspooling from the top of the spool.
2. Make sure the end boards of the spool are riding between the flanges of the idler roller (See Figure
6-2). This will place the end boards on the knurled portion of the drive rollers.
3. Unspool approximately 5 feet of wire from the top of the spool. Place the wire over the top of the
cross bar and between the two side guides (See Figure).
Note:
To unspool the wire, twist the collar on the despool button located on the top of the control box to
manual, then push the green button until the desired length has been acquired.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to return the selector collar to auto on the despool button to feed wire
automatically.
