•
Replace the torch in the torch support bracket (3).
•
Mount the upper cover (3) of the torch by fixing the screws (1-2).
•
Measure the wire liner and trim it back, using a good pair of side cutters, so that there is no more
of 2mm gap (7) between the end of the liner and the feed roller. Take care to ensure there are no
burrs or sharp edges which may impede the progress of the wire when fitted.
•
Install the wire into the feeding system and close the side panel.
In case of direct connection (fig.11) :
•
Remove the screws (1) securing the torch support bracket (2).
•
Unscrew the brass nut (3) from the torch hose end and remo-

8.1
HOW TO CHOOSE THE WIRE LINER fOR DIRECT AND EURO CONNECTION
TORCHES
Mainly we can have 2 types of wire liners: Steel wire liners and Teflon wire liners.
• The steel wire liners can be coated or not coated: the coated wire liners are used for air cooled torches;
the wire liners which are not coated are used for water cooled torches.
• The Teflon wire liners are suggested for the welding of Aluminium, as they allow a smooth feeding
of the wire.
