2.7 Loading the filler wire and automatic feed

Automatic wire feed makes wire spool changes faster. When changing the wire spool, the

pressure of feed rolls need not be released.
Simply ensure that the groove of the feed roll matches the diameter of filler wire used. Release

the wire end from the spool and cut off any deformed section. Be careful that the wire does

not spill from the spool sides.
Straighten about 20 cm of filler wire and ensure the tip has no sharp edges. File if necessary, as

a sharp wire edge may damage the wire gun liner - particularly softer plastic liners.
Present the filler wire tip to the back of the wire feed rolls and press the wire inch switch on

the wire feeder panel. Feed the wire to the gun contact tip and prepare to weld.

NOTE!

Smaller diameter filler wires may need to be loaded manually and with the feed roll pressure

arms released. This is because it is easy to over estimate the pressure required to feed these smaller

filler wires. Too high feed roll pressures can easily deform filler wires and contribute to later feeding

problems.
