Installing Wire - Kemppi AX MIG Welder Operating Manual

2.24 Installing wire

This section describes how to install filler wire on the R500 wire feeder.
Install the welding gun to the wire feeder before installing the wire.
When changing the wire, remove the remaining filler wire from the welding gun and wire feed mechanism.
Always ensure that the feed rolls are suitable for the filler wire (diameter and material) in question. Refer also to
"Wire feeder consumables" on page 172.
1. Release the filler wire end and cut off any deformed section so that the end is straight.
If using a wire spool, ensure that the filler wire does not unravel from the spool when it is released.
2. File the tip of the filler wire smooth.
Sharp edges on the filler wire tip may damage the wire liner.
3. Guide the filler wire through the wire conduit between the wire drum and the wire feeder.
4. Release the pressure handles.
