ADJUSTMENT OF PRESSURE ARMS2.9
Adjust the drive pressure to the ller wire with the thumb screws mounted over the pressure
arms. Notice the graduated scales indicating load. The load applied should be sucient to
overcome a light braking force applied by hand to the ller wire, as it exits the welding gun
contact tip.
For smaller diameter and soft ller wires, less feed pressure is required. It should be possible to
apply a light breaking force to the ller wire by hand, as it exits the gun contact tip. But slightly
more wire ow restriction should render the drives rolls to slip slightly over the ller wire
without deforming the wire
NOTE! Excessive pressure causes attening of the ller wire and damage to coated or cored ller
wires. It also causes undue wear of the feed rolls and increases gearbox load, so reducing service
life.
ADJUSTMENT OF SPOOL BRAKE2.10
Brake force is adjusted through the hole behind the locking clip. Remove the locking clip by
hand, and adjust the tension and pressure to the friction pads mounted inside with a screw
driver. See diagram and location A.
A
The load applied varies depending on the size and weight of the ller wire and spool, but also
the ller wire feed speed set. The heavier the wire spool and the faster the feed speed, the
greater the need to increase the braking load. Adjust the pressure, secure the locking clip, set
the wire feed speed and check that the braking force is enough to ensure the ller wire does
not spill from the spool on overrun.
NOTE! Too much or unnecessary loads can impact welding quality, load and wear to the wire feed
system.
