THREADING THE WIRE

IMPORTANT: DO NOT release the tension on the wire as it will unravel

causing feeding problems later.

1. Pull out the end of the wire from the

spool, taking care not to release the

tension.

• We recommend you cut off and

discard the first 10 cm of wire

from the spool to avoid burrs and

then straighten the next few

centimeters of wire to help with

feeding.

2. Loosen the tensioning knob and pivot

it towards you.

3. Lift up the arm.

4. Pass the wire through the guide tube,

over the drive roller and into the

torch liner.

• Push about 10-15 cm into the

torch liner.

5. Lower the arm and replace the

tensioning knob.

• Tighten the tensioning knob

sufficiently to hold firmly, but do not fully tighten.

NOTE: Correct tension will allow the wire to feed into the torch liner smoothly,

but will allow the drive roller to slip in the event of a blockage.

6. Close the welder side panel.

WARNING: THE FOLLOWING STEPS REQUIRE POWER TO THE

WELDER. DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING WITH THE TORCH OR

WELDING WIRE AS IT MAY RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL ARCING
