25. Do not touch the Gun's Trigger. Plug the Power
Cord into a properly grounded, GFCI protected
120 V AC (20 amp rated) or 240 V AC receptacle that
matches the plug and turn the Power Switch ON.
The circuit must be equipped with delayed
action-type circuit breaker or fuses.
26. Point the Gun away from
all objects. Press and
hold the Cold Wire Feed
Switch until the wire feeds
through two inches.
The wire liner may come
out with the welding
wire. This is normal,
just push the wire liner
back into the Gun.
If the wire does not feed
properly and the Spool
is stationary, turn OFF
and unplug the Welder
and slightly tighten the
Feed Tensioner clockwise
before retrying.
27. To check the wire's drive tension, press and hold
Trigger to feed the wire against a piece of wood
from 2 to 3 inches away.
Note: After pressing Trigger, wire will stop
feeding after 3 seconds if there is no arc.
Check tension for less than 3 seconds.
If the wire stops instead of bending, unplug
the Welder, slightly tighten the Feed Tensioner
clockwise, and try again. If the wire bends from
the feed pressure, then the tension is set properly.
28. Turn OFF the Power Switch and unplug the
Power Cord from its electrical outlet.
29. Close the Door. Make sure
Door is securely latched.
30. Select a Contact Tip that is compatible with
the welding wire used. Slide the Contact
Tip over the wire and thread it clockwise into
the MIG Gun. Tighten the Contact Tip.
31. Replace the Nozzle and cut the wire
off at 1/2" from tip (1/2" stickout).
