OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS….cont
The Weldmate T166 has 6 power settings, lowest setting is 1 and
the highest is 6 (see left diagram).
Fit the wire spool onto the spool holder - if using a 5kg reel ensure it is correctly
seated - Secure in place by tightening the nut.
Check the wire feed roller matches the wire size; If not remove the roller cover
by rotating it by a ¼ of a turn anti-clockwise, turn the roller over, and refit the
cover.
Connect the welder to a suitable electrical supply, but do not switch on.
Remove the shroud from the torch by rotating the shroud clockwise and pulling
at the same time.
Remove the MIG tip.
Pull the pressure adjustment knob so it pivots off the tension arm.
Remove the free end of the MIG wire from the side of the wire spool, trim the
distorted end of the wire with a pair of wire cutters; Hold the wire carfully as it will
try to unwind from the spool.
Lift the tension arm.
Pass the wire through the inlet guide, through the wire feed roller groove and
then in to the torch liner.
Lower the tension arm and pivot the pressure adjustment knob up and back on
to the tension arm.
