6. Turn the Feed Tensioner (37) knob
counterclockwise to loosen it enough to
pull it up, releasing tension.
Do not loosen the Tensioner knob too
much, or the Tensioner will come apart.
Then, swing the Feed Swing Arm (36)
out.
7. Compare the wire diameter marked on
the Wire Spool (27) with the stamped
number on the top of the Feed Roller
(34). The Roller’s groove size must be
compatible with the wire diameter -
.8mm rollers also work with .030” wire &
.9mm rollers also work with .035” wire.
If it is not compatible or the number on
the Roller is hidden:
Remove the Screws (45) and Washers A.
(46) from the Feed Roller Bracket (44).
Remove the Feed Roller Bracket.
B.
Flip the Feed Roller (34) as needed and
confirm that the number facing up is the
same as the wire diameter on the Spool.
Reassemble using the Feed Roller C.
Bracket, Washers, and Screws.
IMPORtAnt:
Securely hold onto the end of the welding
wire and keep tension on it during the
following steps.
If this is not done, the welding wire will
unravel and create a tangled “bird’s nest”,
wasting wire.
Cut off all bent and crimped wire. Make 8.
sure that the cut end has no burrs or
sharp edges; cut again if needed.
9. Keep tension on the wire and guide at
least 12 inches of wire into the Wire
Liners.
