5. Unscrew the pressure roller
bracket securing knob (A, Fig
7), whilst holding down the
pressure roller bracket (B),
against spring pressure, so that
the screw rod hinges out of its
slot. This releases the pressure
roller bracket which, when
released, will pivot upwards
under spring pressure.
IMPORTANT!
Before fitting ANY wire, ensure the correct groove on the roller is in place.
(see page 20)
Fig.9
6. Pull out the end of the wire
from the rim of the spool,
taking care NOT to release it.
The spool is wound firmly and
should remain this way.
Ensuring the wire is straight and
not kinked in any way, clip off
the end with a sharp pair of
snips ensuring there are no
burrs or sharp edges.
Proceed to feed it through the
guide tube (C, Fig.8), over the
groove on the roller (D), and
into the wire liner, by about 10
- 15 cm.
7. Reposition the pressure roller bracket and securing knob (A) and tighten
slightly.
Tightening the knob (A) too tightly will crush the wire and damage the
wire feed motor, too loose will not allow the wire to be pulled by the roller.
8. (Ref. Fig 9)
Remove the torch shroud by
twisting it anti clockwise and
pulling it off, then unscrew the
contact tip.
Should any wire protrude from the
tip....pull it out completely and
discard.

(i) WELDING CURRENT CONTROL
(ii)WIRE FEED SPEED CONTROL.
The WIRE FEED Rotary Control Knob, with graduations from 0 to 10, is used to fine
tune the wire speed feed to the nozzle.
The knob should be set to position 6 to begin with for welding steel, and 8 for welding
aluminium, then adjusted as required.
Note: This control is for fine tuning the wire speed. The speed of wire delivery will
increase automatically as the current is increased and vice versa. Therefore, once
the ideal speed is achieved by fine tuning, it should not be necessary to adjust
this control when the welding current is changed.
It is always better to start with too high a speed, and back off slightly, to avoid the
possibility of the wire welding itself to the tip.
Select the welding current according to the type of metal and thickness to be
welded. The control has 7 positions as indicated in the chart below.
Experience will determine the optimum setting for the job in hand, but the chart
gives general settings from which to work.

PLEASE NOTE: If the current and hence the wire speed is increased, the volume of
gas at the nozzle must also be increased. Turn the regulator knob accordingly.
E. Trim the Welding Wire
Trim the welding wire so that it protrudes no more than 5mm from the end of the
shroud.
D. Timer Control
This is explained in more detail on page 24. For all normal welding operations, set
this control to zero
