SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

worn.
• Blow out or vacuum the inside of the feeder.
CALIBRATION SPECIFICATION
All calibrations are factory set on the Power Feed 15M.
To verify the wire feed speed:
• Assemble a .045 (1.2mm) drive roll kit into the
Power Feed 15M.
• Load a spool of .045 (1.2mm) electrode and thread
the electrode through the wire drive.
• Adjust the wire feed speed to 300 in/min
(7.62m/min).
• Press the COLD INCH switch and measure the
actual wire feed speed with a calibrated wire feed
speed tachometer.
• The measured wire feed speed should be within 2%
of the set value.
To verify the voltage display:
• Set the welding power source and Power Feed 15M
to a CV procedure that gives steady "spray" transfer
in the arc.
• While a weld is being made, measure the voltage
from the feedplate to work with a calibrated volt
meter.
• The displayed voltage on the Power Feed 15M
should be within 2% of the measured value.
