5.5 Setting the wire feed pressure
Piece of wood
Start by making sure that the wire moves smoothly through the wire guide. Then set the
pressure of the wire feeder's pressure rollers. It is important that the pressure is not too
high.
To check that the feed pressure is set correctly, you can feed out the wire against an
insulated object, e.g. a piece of wood.
When you hold the welding torch approximately ¼in. (6mm) from the piece of wood
(Illustration A) the feed rollers should slip.
If you hold the welding torch approximately 2in. (50mm) from the piece of wood, the wire
should be fed out and bend (Illustration B).
5.6 Changing the feed/pressure rollers
Three dual groove feed rollers are supplied as standard. Change the feed roller to match the
filler metal.
NOTE!
Be sure not to lose the key that is located on the drive motor shaft. This key must
align with drive roll groove for proper operation.
