2.5.2 threading the filler wire
1. Open the reel housing by pressing on the opening button and install
the wire reel in such a way that it rotates counter clockwise. You can
use either a 5 kg (diameter 200 mm) or 1 kg (100 mm) wire reel in the
machine.
2. Attach the reel with a reel lock.
3. Unfasten the wire end from the reel, but hold on to it all the time.
4. Straighten the wire end for approximately 20 cm and cut the wire in the
straightened location.
5. Open the pressure control lever which then opens the feed gear.
6. Thread the wire through the wire’s rear guide to the gun’s wire guide.
7. Close the feed gear and fasten it with the pressure control lever. Make
sure that the wire runs in the feed roll groove.
8. Adjust the compression pressure with the pressure control lever no
higher than to the middle of the scale. If the pressure is too high, it
removes metal fragments from the wire surface and may damage the
wire. On the other hand, if the pressure is too low, the feed gear slips and
the wire does not run smoothly.
9. Press the welding gun trigger and wait for the wire to come out.
10. Close the reel housing cover.
