OPERATION
General safety regulations for the handling of the equipment can be found on
page 13. Read through before you start using the equipment!
6.1
Contact tip
The hole size of the contact tip is determined by the diameter of the wire, the type of
inert gas and the level of current used. See on page 25--29.
6.2
Wire liner
The spiral steel wire liner that comes as standard with the welding torch can be used
for all types of wire of the intended size with exception of aluminium.
Teflon coated wire liners are suitable for welding with all types of wires (Al, Ss, and
Fe). However, it is recommended that Teflon coated wire liners are not used when
welding using Fe and CW wires that are thicker than 1.2 mm due to the increased
instance of wear.
Teflon coated wire liners have a considerably shorter life than the standard steel
spiral.
In order to ensure that you enjoy a satisfactory level of wire feed, select a wire liner
using table 4 on page 30.
6.3
Replacing the wire liner
1. Fit the correct nipple
ESAB Connection
NB Each wire guide is supplied with 2 nipples, 1 for ESAB connection and 1 for EURO
connection.
2. Remove the gas nozzle and tip adaptor.
3. Fit the wire liner in the hose package.
4. Cut the wire guide to the correct length
During cutting, the welding torch must be extended with the wire guide fully inserted
into the rear connector.
Cut the wire guide using a projectile "X" as shown on the page 21.
Remove sharp edges inside the liner after cutting.
5. Re--fit the tip adaptor and gas nozzle
