The wire reel hub incorporates a friction brake which is adjusted during manufacture
for optimum braking. If it is considered necessary, adjustment can be made by turning
the thumb screw inside the open end of the hub clockwise to tighten the brake.
Correct adjustment will result in the wire reel circumference continuing no further than
1/8 in.-3/16 in. (3-5 mm) after release of the trigger. The electrode wire should be
slack without becoming dislodged from wire spool.
