ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Unscrew safety bolt on top of access panel and lift the access panel
to expose the wire feed assembly.
Unscrew the thumb nut (O) and remove top of spool knob and spring.
Install a 2 lb. spool of welding wire (not included) on the wire spool axle (N).
Secure the spool of welding wire to the wire spool axle (N) using the spring
underneath and the knob on top. Tighten the thumb nut (O) by hand until
only there is a slight resistance when turning the spool.
Loosen the tension adjustment knob by turning it counterclockwise then
lift the tension adjustment arm up.
Once tension arm is up, open swing arm (H) so that welding wire can be
fed through the wire feed assembly (F).
Unscrew plastic protective cap (J) from the feed wheel (K) (turn
counterclockwise to remove) and check the sizing on the feed wheel (K)
(sizing facing up when feed wheel is in place is the size of welding wire
which should be used).
NOTE:
Plastic protective cap (J) can only be removed or installed when
no wire is running or installed through feed wheel.
Before feeding the welding wire through the wire feed assembly, make sure to securely hold onto
the end of the welding wire while keeping consistent pressure on the welding wire during the
installation process. If consistent tension is not applied on the welding wire, the welding wire can
spring backwards, causing a "bird's nest" in which the welding wire can bunch together, causing
severe tangling resulting in wasted wire.
