LINER INSTALLATION
LINER INSTALLATION
NOTE: FM models, using Fast-Mate connector, are
shipped with factory installed liner. To change
liner in these models, see maintenance sec-
tion.
CONTACT TIP AND GAS NOZZLE INSTALLATION
NOTE: FM models are shipped ready to weld with the
proper tip and gas nozzle installed. If you
choose to change the contact tip or nozzle,
see the instructions below.
a. Choose the correct size contact tip for the elec-
trode being used (wire size is stenciled on the side
of the contact tip) and screw it snugly into the gas
diffuser.
b. Be sure the nozzle insulator is fully screwed onto
the diffuser and does not block the gas holes in the
diffuser.
c. Slip the appropriate gas nozzle onto the nozzle
insulator. Either a .62" (15.9 mm) or .50" (12.7 mm)
I.D. slip-on gas nozzle may be used and should be
selected based on the welding application.
INSTALLATION
Choose the gas nozzle as appropriate for the
GMAW process to be used. Typically, the contact
tip end should be flush to .12" (3.0 mm) extended
for the short-circuiting transfer process and .12"
(3.0 mm) recessed for spray transfer. For the
Outershield (FCAW) process, 1/4" (6.4 mm) recess
is recommended.

CONNECTION TO FAST-MATE COMPATIBLE
FEEDERS
FM model gun cable assemblies will connect easily to
any feeder equipped with a European style gun con-
nector or any Lincoln wire feeder equipped with a
K489 Series FastMate Adapter Kit. To install an
optional K489 Series kit see the instructions provided
with the kit. (See Table A.1)
a. Check that the feeder outgoing guide, as well as
the drive roll, are appropriate for the electrode size
being used. When using a Fast-Mate Adapter Kit,
be certain the adapter guide tube is also properly
sized.
b. Align and fully engage the brass connector end of
the gun cable into the mating connector on the out-
going side of the feeder wire drive. Secure the
cable connection by snuggling the Fast-Mate con-
nector collar nut.
