REMOVAL, INSTALLATION AND TRIMMING
INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAGNUM® LINERS
NOTE: The variation in cable lengths prevents the interchange-
ability of liners. Once a liner has been cut for a particular gun, it
should not be installed in another gun, unless it can meet the liner
cut off length requirement. Liners are shipped with the jacket of
the liner extended the proper amount.
1. Remove the insulator and tip holder.
2. Lay the gun and cable straight on a flat surface.
For all connectors except K466-3, K466-4 and
K613-3:
Loosen set screw located in the brass cable connector at the wire
feeder end of the cable using the same 5/64 (2.0 mm) Allen
wrench. Pull liner out of cable.
<OR>
For K466-3, K466-4 and K613-3 connectors:
Remove the connector cap with the wrench provided. Pull liner
out of cable. If the liner is going to be replaced with a different
size liner, loosen set screw on the connector cap and remove
piece of liner material.
3. Insert a new untrimmed liner into the connector end of the cable.
Be sure the liner bushing is stenciled appropriately for the wire
size being used.
4. Be sure to fully seat the liner bushing in the connector and:

For all connector kits except K466-3, K466-4
and K613-3, tighten the set screw in the cable con-
nector.
For K466-3, K466-4 and K613-3, screw in the connector cap
provided in the kit until it seats on the face of the bushing. Then
insert the appropriate piece of liner material into the connector
cap and tighten the set screw. Three pieces of liner material are
included in these connector kits to help guide the electrode
through the connector cap. The piece with the smallest inner
diameter is designed for .045" (1.2 mm) maximum diameter
electrode and the other liners fit the following wires (maximum
size) in order of increasing inside diameter: 1/16" (1.6 mm),
5/64" (2.0 mm), 3/32" (2.4 mm) and 1/8" (3.2 mm).
NOTE: The maximum wire size for a K466-3 and K466-4 is 5/64".
Therefore the 3/32" and 1/8" liners are not included with these
kits.
CAUTION
This screw should only be gently tightened. Overtightening
will split or collapse the liner and cause poor wire feeding.
5. Be sure the cable is straight and then trim the liner flush with the
end of the gun tube.
6. Remove the gun tube and trim an additional 9/16" (12.7 mm) of
material from the end of the liner (a 9/16" gage is included on
the wrench supplied with the gun).
7. Replace the gun tube and tighten the clamping screw to
secure it.
8. Reassemble the tip holder, insulator, and contact tip onto the end
of the gun tube.
