2.6.2. Installing wire reel
1. Install wire reel so that the hole in the reel is aligned with the pin on the reel holder. Use
reel adaptor, if necessary.
2. Release the locking claws of wire reel locking by turning the latch 45 degrees.
3. Push the reel into its place. Note! Check the reel rotation direction.
4. Lock the reel by turning the locking latch.
Note! Check that the wire or wire reel does not touch the equipment body!
2.6.3. Installing welding wire
Do not direct welding gun to yourself or to persons around you!
Before installing welding wire, check that feed rolls, wire conduit and contact tip are suitable for
the wire.
1. Install feed rolls, check that the right groove is in the wire feed line. The groove can be
changed by changing the position of the adjusting plate.
2. Check that there are no sharp edges on wire end, round off if necessary. Sharp edges may
damage wire guide and wire conduit. Watch out that the wire does not get loose!
3. Push the wire through wire guide tube into feed rolls. Do not release the pressure of the feed
rolls.
4. Use wire inch switch to make the wire roll into the gun. You can also feed the wire to the gun
by pressing the gun switch and pushing the wire slightly until it automatically rolls through
the feed rolls into the gun. Note! Check that the wire runs in the grooves of the both feed
roll pairs!
5. Adjust the pressure of wire feed rolls with adjusting screw. The press force to the feed
rolls is suitable when wire can be slightly restrained with fingers when coming out of wire
conduit, without feed rolls slipping. Note! If the pressure is too high, filler wire flattens and
its coating may fall off. Feed rolls wear out more quickly and friction increases.
6. Adjust the wire reel braking force by turning the adjusting screw in the middle of the locking
latch with a screwdriver. Note! To avoid over-loading wire feed motor, do not tighten too
much.
