MIG/FLUX-CORED WIRE, DRIVE ROLL AND GUN INFORMATION
The MIG gun has a Euro-style quick connect that is used to connect the gun to the welder. This type of connection is the most common throughout the world and
most major MIG gun manufacturers can supply any MIG gun in this type of conguration If you need to change your gun to match other guns in your shop (to
keep consumables the same), contact the manufacturer of your preferred gun for a replacement gun with this type of back-end. The Euro-style quick-connect can
be rapidly connected and disconnected from the welder without the use of any tools.
To install the MIG Gun:
• Align the pins and the wire pick-up on the torch connector with the holes on the feeder receptacle on the welder.
• Fully engage the connector into the receptacle, wiggling slightly to ensure the ttings seat home.
• Using your hand, twist the plastic hand nut on the gun connector clockwise until it is snug.
• Check for side to side play once more by wiggling it.
• Re-tighten if necessary.
The gun supplied with this unit is an air-cooled 36 Series, 340 Amp gun, design. This gun is a common Binzel®-type gun. This is a widely used gun design and
offers excellent ergonomics and dependability.
To load the spool of wire:
• Loosen and remove the hand nut on the spool carrier by turning it counter-clockwise.
• Align the locating pin with the hole on the wire spool. If using an 8” spool slide the adapter on the shaft before sliding the spool on.
• Slide the spool onto the shaft. Make sure wire is unwinding from the bottom of the spool.
• Adjust de-spooling tension by turning tensioner located under the plastic cap nut on the spool carrier.
• Lightly spin the spool. If it free-wheels more than 1/4 turn, tighten hex nut. If it does not free-wheel at all, loosen tensioner until it free wheels 1/4 turn.
• Reinstall the plastic hand nut so the spool is retained securely.
• Locate the end of the wire and clip the bent end of the wire so that it will feed through the wire feed mechanism smoothly. Carefully hold the spool of wire
with one hand so the wire will not de-spool. Proceed to instructions on the next page regarding feeding the wire.
