feed roll pairs.

the feed rolls according to the table below.

Excessive pressure flattens the filler wire and may damage coated or cored filler wires. Excessive pressure also unne-
cessarily wears the feed rolls and increases gearbox load.
8. Press the Wire inch button to drive the filler wire into the welding gun. Stop when the wire reaches the welding
gun's contact tip.
Watch out for the wire when it reaches the contact tip and exits the gun.
