6. GETTING STARTED MIG/MAG
Getting started must be consistent with technical data and conditions of use.
CHOOSING THE FEEDING ROLL
In all machines (Linde AG, Linde Gas Deutschland MIG / MAG) rolls with two
grooves are used. These grooves are intended for two different wire diameters
(e.g. 0,8 and 1,0 mm).
Rolls for wire feed must comply with the diameter and material of the welding
wire. Only this way a smooth wire feed can be achieved. Irregularities of the
wire feed leads to a poor quality of welding and deformation of the wire.

INSERTING THE WIRE
1. Open the side cover of the wire feeder space
2. Put the wire spool on the wire spool holder D1 and fix it with the fixing nut
D2.
3. Cut off the curved or damaged end of welding wire and lead it through
the inlet liner E3, and the roll into the liner inside the EURO torch
connector (about 5 cm). Make sure, that you use the suitable groove.
4. Put the pressure arm E2 down in that way, that the teeth or the gear fit
and fix it by setting the lever E1 into vertical position.
5. Adjust the pressure nut that way that it provides constant movement of
wire but it does not deform wire. The adjusting screw is located under the
plastic screw E1.
6. The spool brake is set by the manufacturer. If necessary, the brake can
be adjusted by a screw D1 so that while stopping the feed, spool will be
stopped on time (it will avoid excessive release of wire).However, too
