
Unscrew the Locking Nut [16] and remove it from the
Spindle.

Place the adapter of spool type B300 on the spindle
[17]. Make certain that the spindle brake pin is put in
the hole in the back side of the adapter. The adapter
of spool type B300 can be purchased separately (see
"Accessories" chapter).

Install the locking nut [16]. Make sure that the locking
nut is tightened

Rotate the spindle and adapter so the retaining
adapter spring of the adapter is at the 12 o'clock
position.

Place the spool type Readi-Reel® on the adapter. Set
one of the spool wire inside in the groove of the
locking spring.
WARNING
Position the spool type B300 so that it will rotate in the
same direction as wire feed and electrode wire should
feed from the bottom side of the spool.

Loading the Electrode Wire

Turn the input power OFF.

Open the spool wire case.

Unscrew the locking nut of the sleeve [16].

Load the spool wire on the sleeve such that the spool
turns clockwise when the wire is feed into the wire
feeder.

Make sure that the spindle brake pin goes into the
fitting hole on the spool.

Screw in the locking nut of the sleeve.

Open the wire drive door.

Put on the wire roll with the correct groove
corresponding to the wire diameter.

Free the end of the wire and cut off the bent end
making sure it has no burr.
WARNING
Sharp end of the wire can hurt.

Rotate the wire spool clockwise and thread the end of
the wire into the wire feeder as far as the Euro Socket.

Adjust force pressure roll of the wire feeder properly.
Adjustments of Brake Torque of Sleeve
To avoid spontaneous unrolling of the welding wire the
sleeve is fitted with a brake.
Adjustment is carried by rotation of its screw M10, which
is placed inside of the sleeve frame after unscrewing the
brake locking nut.

41. Locking Nut.
42. Adjusting Screw M10.
43. Pressing Spring.
Turning the M10 screw clockwise increases the spring
tension and increase the brake torque
Turning the M10 screw anticlockwise decreases the
spring tension and decrease the brake torque.
After finishing of adjustment, you should screw brake
locking nut again.
