Inspection and cleaning

Wire feed unit
Check regularly that the wire feed unit is not clogged with dirt.
• Cleaning and replacement of the wire feed unit mechanism's worn parts should take
place at regular intervals in order to achieve trouble-free wire feed. Note that if
pre-tensioning is set too hard, this can result in abnormal wear on the pressure roller,
feed roller and wire guide.
The brake hub
The hub is adjusted when delivered, if readjustment is required, follow the instructions below.
Adjust the brake hub so that wire is slightly slack when wire feed stops.
• Adjusting the braking torque:
Turn the red handle to the locked
position.
Insert a screwdriver into the springs in
the hub.
Turn the springs clockwise to reduce the
braking torque.
Turn the springs counter-clockwise to
increase the braking torque.
Note: Make sure you turn both springs
the same amount.
Welding torch
• Cleaning and replacement of the welding torch's wear parts should take place at regular
intervals in order to achieve trouble-free wire feed. Blow the wire guide clean regularly
and clean the contact tip.
