OPERATION–Key Points to Feeding the
Welding Wire
ALWAYS EXTEND THE MIG TOURCH LEAD FULLY WHEN FEEDING THE WIRE
THROUGH THE TORCH TIP
Always ensure that you always extend the welding torch lead to enable the MIG
wire to pass through the welding torch lead inner tube. The inner tube allows the
MIG wire to pass between the MIG welder and the welding torch without creating
drag. Ensure that the torch lead is not curled up or tightly wound as this can cause
the welding wire to pierce through the inner tube and protrude through the outer
protective layer of the torch lead.
ALWAYS CUT THE WELDING WIRE WITH A FLAT END
