Attention: This wire feeder is fitted with twin roll system, the feeding and the pressure rolls are both knurled to
reduce pressure to the wire. Ensure to replace both feeding and pressure rolls when changing wire diameter.
5.7 – Close roll pressure levers (8-Fig. 13) of wire feed motor and adjust pressure by means of both pressure regulator
screws (9-Fig. 13) :
Attention: This adjustment must be done very carefully:
- Excessive pressure can cause deformation of wire and difficult the wire advance.
- Low pressure can cause sliding of wire and advance interruptions causing bad welding quality.
5.8 - Attention: To avoid damage to solenoid valve, never select gas position without gas feed from bottle.
5.9 – Connect power source and move general switch of wire feeder to ON position.
5.10 – Push wire inch key button (Fig. 12) on the internal panel of wire feeder; the feeding motor rotates. Release key button
to stop motor when the wire become situated 50 cm out of the torch tip (stick-out - Fig. 14).
5.11 – Actuate on coil brake adjustment screw (2-Fig. 8) verifying that the coil
stops at the same time of the motor. This braking regulation avoids unwind of
turns out of the coil during motor stop.
5.12 – Adjust wire speed during welding by means of wire speed
adjustment knob (2-Fig. 4).
