ESAB Origo Feed 304N P4 Manual page 26

6.4) Wire feed pressure
Start by making sure that the wire moves smoothly through the wire guide.Then set the pressure of the wire
feeder's pressure rollers. It is important that the pressure is not too great.
To check that the feed pressure is set correctly, you can feed out the wire against an insolated object, e.g. a
piece of wood.
When you hold the gun approx. 5 mm from the piece of wood (pic.1) the feed rollers should slip.
If you hold the gun approx. 50 mm from the piece of wood, the wire should be fed out and bend (pic.2).
6.5) Adjusting the braking torque
The hub is adjusted when delivered, if readjustment is required, follow the instructions below. Adjust the
brake hub so that wire is slightly slack when wire feed stops.
Turn the red handle to the locked position.
Insert a screwdriver into the springs in the hub.
Turn the springs clockwise to reduce the braking torque.
Turn the springs counterclockwise to increase the braking torque.
Note:Turn both springs through the same amount.
NOTE : In order to latch or unlatch, just turn the red handle. There´s no need to remove it.
