switch lever.

This will enable the operator to increase the sensitivity of the trigger lever.

wire feeder motors will begin feeding wire. Retract the screw accordingly until
the system is deactivated and adjusted to the operators' liking.

Drive Roll Installation/Removal
Note:
Neither of the handles needs to be removed to access the drive or
idler rolls.

1. Pull the cam lever away from the idler roll.

This will relieve the pressure against the
drive roll (as shown in Figure 1).

2. Align the drive roll removal tool (P/N 931-

0100) over the flats of the drive roll (as
shown in Figure 2). Hold the gun with one
hand or on a table top, with the other hand
give the removal tool a quick snap-turn in
the CLOCKWISE DIRECTION.

3. Once the drive roll is loose, continue to

spin drive roll in the clockwise direction to
remove the drive roll from the gun.

4. Install a new drive roll on the left-hand threaded shaft. The drive roll will

self-tighten when it is feeding wire.

Idler Roll Installation and Removal
(Reference Figure 3)

1. Using a slot type screwdriver, loosen idler screw, taking care not to lose

lock washer under idler roll.

2. Insert new idler roll and lock washer onto screw, insuring that idler groove

is toward top and lock washer is beneath.

3. Tighten.

NOTE: Lock washer must be under idler roll or it will not turn freely.
