Eastwood MIG 90 Assembly And Operating Instructions Manual page 11

INSTALLING THE WIRE SPOOL
The Eastwood MIG 90 can be used only with a 4" wire spool which fits directly on
the Spool Shaft.
TO INSTALL A 4" WIRE SPOOL
• Open the top lid of the Welder and remove the Spool Retaining Wingnut and
Spacer from the Wire Spool Spindle (FIG 7).
• With the wire feed oriented forward and from the topside of the spool, slide the
4" Wire Spool onto the Spindle and reinstall the Spacer and the Spool Retaining
Wingnut (FIG 8). DO NOT unravel wire at this point.
SETTING THE WIRE TENSION ADJUSTER
• To set the tension on the wire, incrementally tighten the Spool Retaining Wingnut
at the center of the Spindle until there is a slight resistance to spinning the wire
spool on the Spindle. If the tension is set too loose the wire spool will freely spin
on the shaft and unspool all the wire. If the tension is too tight, the Drive Roller
will have difficulty pulling the wire off the spool and some slipping may occur.
