Use care in handling the spooled wire as it
will tend to "unravel" when loosened from the
spool. Grasp the end of the wire firmly and do
not let go of it. Make sure that the end of the
wire is free of any burrs and is straight.

1. Loosen Pressure Adjust Device (Fig. 3-9).
2. Open Pressure Adjust Device (Fig. 3-9).
3. Open Pressure Arm (Fig. 3-9).
4. Place the end of the wire into the Inlet Wire Guide,
feeding it over the Feedroll. Make certain that the proper
groove is being used (Fig. 3-10).
5. Pass the wire into the Gun Liner of the Gun Cable End
(Fig. 3-10).
6. Close the Pressure Arm (Fig. 3-10).
7. Close the Pressure Adjust Device. Tighten it to a "snug"
condition (Fig. 3-10).

If there is too much pressure on the drive roll
the wire gets locked and the motor could get
damaged, If it is too loose the wire will not
feed properly.
