2.6.3. Installing welding wire

Do not direct welding gun to yourself or to persons around you!
Before installing welding wire, check that feed rolls, wire conduit and contact tip are
suitable for the wire.
1.
Install feed rolls, check that the right groove is in the wire feed line. The
groove can be changed by changing the position of the adjusting plate.
2.
Check that there are no sharp edges on wire end, round off if necessary. Sharp
edges may damage wire guide and wire conduit. Watch out that the wire does
not get loose!
3.
Push the wire through wire guide tube into feed rolls. Do not release the
pressure of the feed rolls.
4.
Use wire inch switch to make the wire roll into the gun. You can also feed the
wire to the gun by pressing the gun switch and pushing the wire slightly until
it automatically rolls through the feed rolls into the gun. Note! Check that the
wire runs in the grooves of the both feed roll pairs!
5.
Adjust the pressure of wire feed rolls with adjusting screw. The press force to
the feed rolls is suitable when wire can be slightly restrained with fi ngers when
coming out of wire conduit, without feed rolls slipping. Note! If the pressure
is too high, fi ller wire fl attens and its coating may fall off. Feed rolls wear out
more quickly and friction increases.
6.
Adjust the wire reel braking force by turning the adjusting screw in the middle
of the locking latch with a screwdriver. Note! To avoid over-loading wire feed
motor, do not tighten too much.
