3.
Slide spool onto shaft. Make sure wire is unwrapping from bottom of the spool.
4.
Turn support collar so shallow side of should faces "in" for 8" spools, out for 4" spools.
5.
Reinsert spring then tighten the thumb nut clockwise.
6.
Tension the roll with the thumb nut so that the roll doesn't free wheel but turns easily.
7.

TO THREAD WIRE INTO FEEDER:
1.
Loosen top idler tensioner, rotating counter-clockwise
2.
Flip tensioner down, releasing top drive roll.
3.
Raise top drive idler roller.
4.
Inspect the drive roll to make sure that the groove size matches the wire diameter.
Reversal of the lower roller may be necessary. To reverse the roller, remove the
thumb screw securing the drive roll. Pull the drive roll off, and flip the drive roll
over. Reassemble and tighten roller. If a flux core roller is needed contact Everlast.
5.
Thread straightened wire into coiled sheath and over grooves in lower drive roll.
Thread through until it threads into the gun section 3"-4". Lower the upper drive roll
onto lower drive roll, keeping the wire securely fixed in the groove of the feed roller.
Make sure the wire has been engaged in the correct groove.
6.
Raise tensioner back into place. Tighten slightly so wire will feed. Notice markings
on tensioner for future reference.
7.
Hold torch straight out as possible. Press the gun trigger to feed wire until the wire
exits the end of the torch. Remove contact tip if necessary to feed out wire.
8.
Adjust tensioner clockwise until drive rolls will not slip when the wire comes into
contact with a hard surface (a block of wood) and the wire will curl up on end. Re-
member to keep wire away from metal that is attached to the work clamp to pre-
vent the wire from accidentally arcing.
