5.1. MIG Welding Set Up & Operation
5.1.1 Fitting the spool
5.1.1.1 open the cover door for the wire feed compartment. Remove the wire spool retainer(18) by threading off anti
clockwise.
5.1.1.2 fit the 200mm diameter wire spool to the spool holder, ensuring the end of the wires exits towards the wire
feeder from the bottom of the spool. Refit the wire spool retainer(18) and tighten finger tight.
5.1.1.3 set the spool brake tension by rotating the adjustment screw(19) using an allen wrench. Clockwise to increase
brake tension, counter
‐
clockwise to decrease brake tension. The spool brake tension should be set so that the spool can
rotate freely, but does not continue to rotate once the wire feed stops. This may need to be adjusted as the wire is used
up and the spool weight decreases.
5.1.2 Loading wire feeder
5.1.2.1 release the wire feeder tension arm(14) by pivoting the wire feed tension adjuster(13) as pictured below
