c. Remove the drive roller by turning the drive roll securement knob (4) counterclockwise.
Carefully slide the drive roll assembly off the drive shaft. This drive roll assembly
consists of three pieces. The outer drive roll, inner drive roll, and a key. Be careful not
to misplace the key.
d. Based on the wire diameter, select the correct groove. When installing the drive roller,
the number stamped on the drive roller for the wire size you are using should be facing
you. Push the Drive Roller onto the Drive Roller Shaft.

4. INSTALL THE WIRE - We recommend using .023, .030, and .035 MIG wire, or .030, .035 and
.045 flux core wire, on this unit.
a. Select welding wire - Both 8" and 11" wire spools of .023, .030, .035 and .045 wire can
be used on this welder. You can also use 4" spools of wire when using the Spool Gun.
NOTE: Burn-through can occur if you attempt to weld mild or stainless steel thinner
than 24 gauge.
NOTE: Remove all rusted wire from your wire spool. If the whole spool is rusty, discard
it.
b. Install the wire.
⚠WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL!
Always turn the power switch OFF and unplug the power cord from the AC power source before installing
wire.
NOTE: Before installing, make sure that you have removed any old wire from the torch
assembly. This will help to prevent the possibility of the wire jamming inside the gun liner.
NOTE: Be very careful when removing the welding nozzle. The contact tip on this welder is live
whenever the torch trigger is pulled. Make certain power is turned OFF.
