2. Attach the round connector of the gun control
cable provided to the trigger connector on the
front of the Lincoln Feeder.
Install and Trim the Cable Liner
Installation of (KP44 and KP45 series liners)
1. Lay the gun and cable out straight on a flat
surface.
2. Make sure that the set screw in the connector
end is backed out so as not to damage liner or
liner bushing. Remove and save the tip holder,
contact tip and insulator from the end of the gun
tube assembly.
3. Insert a new untrimmed liner into the connector
end of the cable. Be sure the liner bushing is
stenciled appropriately for the wire size being
used.
4. Be sure to fully seat the liner bushing in the
connector and:
For all connector kits except K466-3, K466-4 and
K613-3, tighten the set screw in the cable connector.
<OR>
For K466-3, K466-4 and K613-3, screw in the
connector cap provided in the kit until it seats on the
face of the bushing. Then insert the appropriate
piece of liner material into the connector cap and
tighten the set screw. Three pieces of liner material
are included in these connector kits to help guide the
electrode through the connector cap. The piece with
the smallest inner diameter is designed for .045" (1.2
mm) maximum diameter electrode and the other
liners fit the following wires (maximum size) in order
of increasing inside diameter: 1/16" (1.6 mm), 5/64"
(2.0 mm), 3/32" (2.4 mm) and 1/8" (3.2 mm).
NOTE: The maximum wire size for a K466-3 and
K466-4 is 5/64". Therefore the 3/32" and
1/8" liners are not included with these
kits.
5. Be sure the cable is straight and then trim the
liner flush with the end of the gun tube.
6. Remove the gun tube and trim an additional
9/16" (12.7 mm) of material from the end of the
liner (a 9/16" gage is included on the wrench
supplied with the gun).
7. Replace the gun tube and tighten the clamping
screw to secure it.
8. Reassemble the tip holder, insulator, and
contact tip onto the end of the gun tube.
INSTALLATION
CONNECT GUNS TO WIRE FEEDER
Connection to Miller Feeders
Using the Gun and cable assemblies which were
assembled with a K466-3 or K613-3 connection kit in
the beginning of this Installation Section will connect
easily to a variety of popular Miller wire feeders.
1. Check that the gun liner, connector cap liner,
and drive rolls are appropriate for the electrode
size being used.
2. Fully push the brass connector end of the gun
and cable into the connector receptacle on the
outgoing side of the feeder wire drive. Tighten
the hand screw to clamp down on the
connector.
3. Insert the control cable plug from the feeder
trigger circuit into the mating socket on the gun
cable feeder end handle.
Connection to Hobart Feeders
Using the Gun and cable assemblies which were
assembled with a K466-4 connection kit in the
beginning of this Installation Section will connect
easily to a variety of Hobart wire feeders.
1. Check that the gun liner, connector cap liner,
and drive rolls are appropriate for the electrode
size being used.
2. Fully push the brass connector end of the gun
and cable into the connector receptacle on the
outgoing side of the feeder wire drive. Tighten
the hand screw to clamp down on the
connector.
3. Insert the control cable plug from the feeder
trigger circuit into the mating socket on the gun
cable feeder end handle.
Connection to L-Tec Adapted Feeders
Using the Gun and cable assemblies which were
assembled with a K466-5 connection kit in the
beginning of this Installation Section will connect
easily to an L-Tec feeder equipped with an L-Tec
feeder connector assembly.
1. Check that the adapter and feeder outgoing
guide as well as the drive roll, are appropriate
for the electrode size being used.
