RECOMMENDED WIRE
Electric shock can kill! Always turn the POWER switch OFF and unplug the power cord from the
AC power source before installing wire.
3.6 Depending on the wire diameter, select the correct groove according to the
following table about the relationship between wire diameter and wire roller groove size.
The drive roller has two wire-size grooves built into it. 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.
3.7. Reinstall the drive roller cap and lock in place by turning it clockwise.
4" (10 cm) wire spools of 0.030" (0.8 mm) or 0.035" (0.9 mm) .
Self-shielding flux-core wire can be used on this welder. Steel from 18 gauge up
to 3/16” thick can be welded with this wire.
NOTE:
- Metal thinner than 18 guage cannot be welded with this machine.
Attempting to do so will cause burn-through in the metal you are intending
to weld.
- Remove any wire that is rusty; if the whole spool is rusty, discard it.
3.8. Close the door to the welder drive compartment.
4. Install the wire
4.1 Select the wire.
This welder uses both 4" (10 cm) spools of 0.030 or 0.035" (0.8 or 0.9 mm) thick wire.
4.2.1 Remove the nozzle and contact tip from the end of the torch assembly.
4.2 Install the wire.
4.2.2 Make sure the proper groove on the drive roller is in place for the wire installed. If not, change
the drive roller as described above.
4.2.3 Unwrap the spool of wire and then find the leading end of the wire. The wire goes through a hole in
the outer edge of the spool and is bent over the spool edge to pre vent the wire from unspooling BUT DO
NOT UNHOOK IT at this point.
4.2.4 Place the spool on the spool holder in such a manner that the welding wire comes off the bottom of
the spool into the drive mechanism. See following diagram.
• 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 torch liner.
• Be very careful when removing the welding nozzle. The contact tip on this welder is live whenever
the torch trigger is pulled. Make sure the POWER is turned OFF.
• Metal thinner than 18 gauge cannot be welded with this machine. Attempting to do so will cause
burn through in the metal you are intending to weld.
• If the wire is rusty, remove any wire with rust. If the whol e spool is rusty, discard it.
