Inspection, cleaning and replacement

Wire feed mechanism
Regularly check that the wire feed unit is not clogged with dirt.
• Cleaning and replacement of worn parts in the mechanism of the wire feed should
take place at regular intervals in order to achieve trouble-free wire feeding. Note that if
pretensioning is set too hard, this can result in abnormal wear on the pressure roller,
feed roller, and wire guide.
• Cleaning of the liners and other mechanical parts of the wire feed mechanism should
be carried out at regular intervals or if the wire feed seems slow. Use compressed air
for this task.
• Changing nozzles
• Checking the driving wheel
• Changing the cog-wheel package
Bobbin holder
• Inspect at regular intervals that the brake hub sleeve and the brake hub nut are not
worn out and that they lock properly. Replace if necessary.
Welding torch
• The wear parts of the welding torch should be cleaned and replaced at regular
intervals in order to achieve trouble-free wire feed. Regularly blow the wire guide
clean and clean the contact tip.
