•
Loosen and lower the plastic knob (A) (Fig.9). Open the
pressure arm (B) of the feeder. Extract the wire from the
torch liner (E).
•
When the wire is disconnected, grasp it with pliers so that it
cannot exit from the spool. If necessary, straighten it before
inserting it in the wire input guide (C). Insert the wire on the
lower roll (D) and in the torch liner (E).
WARNING: keep the torch straight. When feeding a
new wire through the liner, make sure the wire is cut
cleanly (no burrs or angles) and that at least 2 cm
from the end is straight (no curves). failure to follow
these instructions could cause damage to the liner.
•
Lower the pressure arm (B) and place the knob (A). Tighten
slightly. If tightened too much, the wire gets locked and
could cause motor damage. If not tighten enough, the rolls
will not feed the wire.
WARNING: When changing the wire diameter being
used, or replacing the wire feed roll, be sure that
the correct groove for the wire diameter selected
is inside, closest to the machine. The wire is driven
by the inside groove. feed rolls are marked on the
side identifying the groove nearest that side.
•
Close the side panel of the machine. Connect the power
supply cable to the power output line. Turn on the switch.
Press the torch switch. The wire fed by the wire feeding mo-
tor at variable speed must slide through the liner. When it
exits from the torch neck, release the torch switch. Turn off
the machine. Mount the contact tip and the nozzle.
When checking the correct exit of the wire from the torch do not bring your face
near the torch, you may run the risk to be wounded by the outgoing wire. Do not
bring your fingers close to the feeding mechanism when working! The rolls, when
moving, may crush the fingers. Periodically, check the rolls. Replace them when
they are worn and compromise the regular feeding of the wire.

Before performing this procedure, ensure the gas and electrical supplies are di-
sconnected.
The procedure to follow for
replacing the wire liner depends
upon the torch connection type of
your welder.
•
Open the side panel. Loo-
sen and lower the plastic
knob (A) and release the
pressure arm (B) (Fig. 9).
Cut the wire (in the case it is
installed) grasp it with pliers
so that it cannot exit from
the spool and fix it on the
suitable hole in the reel. Re-
move the nozzle and con-
tact tip. Remove with pliers
the wire from the hose and
torch assembly.
If the torch is already mounted connected and has a gas valve on the handle (fig. 10):
•
Remove the screws (1-2) securing the torch support bracket (3).
