COIL MOUNTING
• Do not wear gloves during threading of wire or
changing wire spool.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Make sure the spindle of the wire reel stand is in the
upper position.
2. With the coil reel assembly mounted to a 2" (51mm)
spindle, loosen the spinner nut and remove the
cover plate. Alternatively, lay the coil reel assembly
flat on the floor and loosen the spinner nut and
remove the cover plate.
3. Place the coil of electrode on the reel so it unwinds
from the bottom as it rotates.
4. Tighten the spinner nut as much as possible by
hand using the cover plate spokes for leverage. DO
NOT hammer on the spinner nut.
5. Cut and remove only the tie wire holding the free
end of the coil. Hook the free end around the rim of
the cover plate and secure it by wrapping it around.
Cut and remove remaining tie wires.
Always be sure the free end of the coil is securely
held while the tie wires are being cut and until the
wire is feeding through the drive rolls. Failure to
do this will result in "backlashing" of the coil,
which may tangle the wire. A tangled coil will not
feed and must either be untangled or discarded.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. Be sure the coil is engaged with the spindle brake
pin and the release bar on the retaining collar "pops
up". The retaining collar must fully engage the
retaining groove on the spindle.
