5.4) Adjustment of the wire pressure
In order to determine the correct wire feeder pressure:
n
Make sure that the wire moves freely through the wire guide-tube. After that, set the pressure of the
pressure roller of the wire feeder. It is important that the pressure is not too tight. To make sure that the
feeding pressure is correctly set, feed the wire out of the welding gun against an isolating object, as for
example, a piece of wood.
n
When positioning the welding gun at a distance of approximately 5 mm of the piece of wood (picture 1)
the feeding roller should slid.
n
When positioning the welding gun at a distance of approximately 50 mm of the piece of wood, the wire
should be fed outwards, becoming bent (picture 2).
