LOADING THE WIRE
 Open the side cover of the unit
 Remove the back tension knob from the wire reel holder and fit the wire spool onto
the wire reel so that the wire will exit the spool from the top.
 Note the reel holder can be reversed to cater for 100mm or 200mm reels.
Refit the back tension knob. (keep the adjustment of this knob as light as possible but
sufficiently strong to prevent the wire roll from self un-spooling)
 Release the tension screw and open the upper roller arm
 Without letting the wire un-spool, cut the end of the wire of cleanly leaving no kinks
the feed about 30cm of the wire through the guide tube and into the wire liner by
hand.
 The wire feed roller has two different size groves. Check that the wire is aligned with
the correct size grove in the wire feed roller for the type of wire and then careful close
the upper roller and tension screw. If necessary remove the wire feed roller and turn it
over to access the other grove and refit.
At the end of the torch
 Twist the nozzle clockwise and pull to remove
 Unscrew the contact tip counterclockwise and remove. Check that the correct tip size
is being used for the wire being fitted.
 Lay the torch sheath out in a straight line so that the wire move through it easily
