3.15 Inserting Wire Into The Wire Feed Mechanism
Release the tension from the pressure roller by turning the adjustable wire drive tension knob in an anti-clockwise
direction. Then to release the pressure roller arm push the tension screw toward the back of the machine which releases
the pressure roller arm (Figure 3-14). With the MIG welding wire feeding from the bottom of the spool (Figure 3-15)
pass the electrode wire through the inlet guide, between the rollers, through the outlet guide and into the MIG gun.
Re-secure the pressure roller arm and wire drive tension screw and adjust the pressure accordingly (Figure 3-14).
Remove the Velocity contact tip from the MIG gun. With the MIG gun lead reasonably straight, feed the wire through
the MIG gun by depressing the trigger switch. Fit the appropriate Velocity contact tip.
WARNING
Before connecting the work clamp to the work make sure the Electricity Supply is switched OFF.
The electrode wire will be at welding voltage potential while it is being feed through the system.
Keep MIG gun away from eyes and face.
