Wire Installation

Welding power
may be applied to

the output terminals, feed roll, work
clamp, gun cable connection and
welding wire even when the the gun
switch is not activated. Do not touch
these parts when the welding machine
is on.

NOTE: Before installing welding wire,
be sure that the diameter of the
welding wire matches the groove in the
drive roller on the wire feed
mechanism and the wire matches the
contact tip in the end of the gun. A
mismatch on any item could cause the
wire to slip or bind.

1. Verify the unit is off and open the

panel on the welder to expose the
wire feed mechanism.

2. Remove the spool quick lock, by

pushing in and rotating 1/4 turn
counterclockwise. The knob, spring,
and spool spacer can now be removed.

NOTE: Spool spacer and spindle spacer
act as an 8” spool spindle adapter.
Purchase of an adapter is not necessary.

* See Figure 5 for assembly.

Wire Feed Arc Welder

3. Loosen the wire feed tensioning

screw on the drive mechanism. This
allows initial feeding of the wire into
the gun liner by hand.

4. Install the wire spool onto the

spindle so that the wire can come off
the spool on the end closest to the
wire feed guide tube. Do not cut
the wire loose yet.
Install the spool
spacer, spring, and quick lock knob
by pushing in and turning the knob
1/4 rotation clockwise.

5. Hold the wire and cut the wire end

from the spool. Do not allow the wire
to unravel. Be sure that the end of the
wire is straight and free of burrs.

6. Feed the wire through the wire feed

guide tube, over the groove in the
drive roll and into the gun liner.
Tighten the wire feed tensioning screw
so that it is snug. Do not over tighten.

7. Remove the nozzle by turning

counterclockwise. Then unscrew
the contact tip from the end of the
welding torch (See Figure 6). Plug the
welder into the proper power supply
receptacle.

HINT: Keep torch cable straight when
feeding wire.

8. Turn on the welder and set the wire

speed rate to 5. Activate the gun
