2.4 SETTING THE PRESSURE OF THE FEED ROLLS
To make ller wire run smoothly into the wire liner and to the welding gun you can adjust the pressure of the feed rolls of the wire feed mechanism.
To increase the pressure applied to the welding ller wire, turn the black pressure adjustment knob in a clockwise direction.
To decrease the pressure applied to the welding ller wire, turn the black pressure adjustment knob in an anti-clockwise direction.
0.9
1.2
1.6
There is a graduation scale marked on the arm of the adjustment knob. The more pressure applied, the fewer number of graduation marks are visible.
For hard steel and stainless steel ller wires, make sure there is sucient pressure applied, so avoiding ller wire slippage in the feed rolls.
NOTE! Too much pressure may atten the ller wire, damage its coating, cause friction and
excessive wear to drive roll bearings and therefore reduced life.
2.5 SETTING THE SPOOL BRAKE FORCE
To prevent the ller wire from uncoiling on overrun, following use at high wire feed speeds, you can adjust the braking force of the ller wire spool holder.
The spool brake adjustment screw is located inside the spool hub. To adjust the brake force, unscrew the spool locking mechanism on the tip of the wire spool hub.
To increase the force turn the screw clockwise, and to decrease it, by turning the screw anticlockwise.
