The roller pressure should be adjusted separately on each tensioner unit, depending on used wire

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 approx. 5mm from the piece of wood (figure A) the feed rollers
should slip.
If you hold the welding torch approx. 50mm from the piece of wood, the wire should be fed out and
bend (figure B).
