Wire Installation and Set Up Guide

Again the importance of smooth consistent wire feeding during MIG welding cannot be emphasized enough.

The correct installation of the wire spool and the wire into the wire feed unit is critical to achieving an even

and consistent wire feed. A high percentage of faults with mig welders emanate from poor set up of the wire

into the wire feeder. The guide below will assist in the correct setup of your wire feeder.

(1) Remove the spool retaining nut.

(3) Fit the wire spool onto the spool holder

tting the locating pin into the location hole

on the spool. Replace the spool retaining

nut tightly

(2) Note the tension spring adjuster

and spool locating pin.

(7) Check that the wire passes through the centre

of the outlet guide tube without touching the sides.

Loosen the locking screw and then loosen the outlet

guide tube retaining nut too make adjustment if

required. Carefully retighten the locking nut and

screw to hold the new position.

adjust wire tensioner so that adequate presser is

supplied to wire so it does not slip

(4) Snip the wire carefully, be sure to hold the

wire to prevent the spool uncoiling. Carefully

feed the wire into the inlet guide tube of the

wire feed unit.

(5) Feed the wire through the drive roller and

into the outlet guide tube of the wire feeder.

(6) Lock down the top pressure roller and

apply a medium amount of pressure us-

ing the tension adjustment knob

(8) The weight and speed of the wire spool

turning creates an inertia that can cause the

spool to run on and the wire loop over the

side of the spool and tangle. if this happens

increase the pressure on the tension spring

inside the spool holder assembly using the

tension adjustment screw.

NOTE: As wire volume reduces spool brake

tension may also require re-adjustment
