Trigger Sensitivity
The amount of trigger level travel can

be shortened for a quicker or more
responsive action.
A more sensitive trigger lever is produced

by reducing the gap between the trigger

lever and the micro switch lever. By

turning-in the trigger sensitivity adjustment

screw, it closed the gap between the

trigger lever and the micro switch lever.
This well enable the operator to increase

the sensitivity of the trigger lever.
Sensitivity Adjustment

With the wire feeder turned on (with or

without welding wire loaded), turn the

screw in until the micro-switch is activated.

Once activated, the tortch and wire feeder

motors will begin feeding wire. Retract

the screw accordingly until the system is

deactivated and adjusted to the operators'

liking.

Drive Roll and Idler Rolls

General
The Python

®

torch comes standard with a knurled drive roll and a grooved

idler roll, which will handle both steel and aluminum wire with diameters from

.030-1/16 inch. Optional insulated V-groove drive rolls are also available for

aluminum wire if desired (see optional kits).
Drive roll tension is accomplished with a unique spring-loaded pressure

screw. The Python

®

comes from the factory with the pressure adjustment

screw preset.

NO ADJUSTMENT IS REQUIRED FOR ALL SIzES

AND TyPES OF WIRES

.

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 torch with one hand or on

a table top, with the other hand give

the removal tool a quick snap-turn

in the

CLOCKWISE DIRECTION.
