spring and nut. There should be slight tension on the reel, just enough to prevent it from unwinding. While using one
hand to prevent in the wire from suddenly unwinding from the reel, loosen the free end of the wire from the edge of the
reel. Snip off the crooked or bent tip and insert the tip of the wire into the metal spring wire guide of the wire feeder.

According to the type and diameter of the wire, select the appropriate wire feed roller. V-grove roller for stainless steel
and carbon steel, Knurled-grove roller for flux cored wire and U-grooved roller for welding aluminum in the spool gun
(spool gun and U-groove roller are not included with the machine and must be purchased separately.) Please match
diameter size on the roller with the welding wire diameter. Please note that the wire feeder feeds the wire over the
inboard side of the feeder mechanism make sure you install the drive roller so that the desired groove is towards the
machine!
Release the drive tension mechanism by rotating the drive tension knob down. Now pass the wire through the wire guide
spring over the top of the groove of the drive wheel. Using your finger to aim the wire thought the second guide that is at
the front of the machine. Push the wire out a few inches or centimeters. Now bring down the top roller mechanism and
raise the tension knob to lock it into place. Adjust the tension knob so that the pressure on the welding wire, guarantees
the welding wire is not slipping if the wire is blocked, and not continuing to fed the wire, This would cause a huge mess

Guide the wire sticking out the front of the machine into the welding gun cable. Now insert the welding gun cable into the
socket on front panel and screw it in firmly.Unscrew the nozzle and contact tip from the MIG gun and feed the wire
through the cable by pulling the trigger on the gun. To ensure the wire feeds quickly, you can turn tew amperage knob on
the front panel to it’s maximum setting. After the wire successfully fed reinstall install the contact tip and appropriate
nozzle. For fluxed core wire, install a ceramic nozzle, for solid wire install a copper nozzle.
