Welding without gas

Welding with homogeneous wire/shielding gas or welding with gasless tubular wire is
possible by switching the wires on +/-- terminals close to the wire feed unit.
6.4

Wire feed pressure

Start by making sure that the wire moves smoothly through the wire guide. Then
set the pressure of the wire feeder pressure roller(s). It is important that the
pressure is not too great.
Fig 1
To check that the feed pressure is set correctly, you can feed out the wire against
an insulated object, e.g. a piece of wood.
When you hold the gun approx. 5 mm from the piece of wood (fig. 1) the feed
roller(s) should slip.
If you hold the gun approx. 50 mm from the piece of wood, the wire should be
fed out and bend (fig. 2).
