• Open the wire feed unit.
• Loosen the hexagonal socket screw of the securing and braking unit until the screw is free of the
thread in the wire spool retainer (do not remove it completely to prevent losing the small parts).
• Pre-tension the securing and braking unit in the wire spool retainer by screwing the hexagonal socket
screw clockwise, making at least 4 complete turns (4 x 360°).
