OPERATION
groove wire can also be used for flux core wire without the wire particles coming of the wire surface.
However it is considered that the knurled roller will give a more positive feed of flux core wire
without any deformation of the wire shape.
§4.1.5 Wire Installation and Set Up Guide
Again the importance of smooth consistent wire feeding during MIG welding cannot be emphasized
enough. The correct installation of the wire spool and the wire into the wire feed unit is critical to
achieving an even and consistent wire feed. A high percentage of faults with mig welders emanate
from poor set up of the wire into the wire feeder. The guide below will assist in the correct setup of
your wire feeder.
(1) Remove the spool retaining nut. (2) Note the tension spring adjuster and spool locating
pin.
(3) Fit the wire spool onto the spool holder (4) Snip the wire carefully, be sure to hold
fitting the locating pin into the location holeon the wire to prevent the spool uncoiling.
the spool. Replace the spool retaining nut tightly. Carefully feed the wire into the inlet guide
