WIRE FEEDER INSTALLATION
The wire feed drive roller attached to MIG175 has two wire grooves, one for 0.023” (0.6
mm) welding wire and another for 0.030 (0.8 mm) welding wire or 0.035” (0.9 mm) flux-cored
wire. The factory default is the 0.023” (0.6 mm) wire groove. In the event that the 0.030” or
0.035” welding wire is to be used, the wire feed roller should be switched around.
1.
Ensure that the MIG175 welding machine is powered “OFF” and the power cord is
unplugged.
2.
Unlock the tension bar (1) and lift up the rocker arm (2) of the wire feeder.
3.
Unscrew the Allen set screws (3) holding the wire Feed roller with inner Allen wrench.
NOTE:
Turn feed roller with pliers to access allen bolt.
4.
Take out wire feed roller (4) and flip the wire feed roller so that the 0.8mm mark is towards
you.
5.
Reinstall by putting back the wire feed roller and tightening the Allen set screw.

WELDING WIRE INSTALLATION
The MIG175 welding machine can be used with wire spools of either 8” (200 mm ) in
diameter or 4”(100mm) in diameter. The depth of either spool should not exceed 2.2” (56 mm).
There is a 50mm plastic barrel attached to the welding machine. The swing screw can adjust the
resistance of the welding wire spool to keep the wire from loosening.
For installing (See Figure D-2) a wire spool 8”(200 mm) in diameter, attach the spool (1) to
the plastic barrel (2).The position fixing pole of the plastic barrel should be aligned with the
locating hole of the welding wire spool.
(NOTE: the wire spool will rotate clockwise when wire is in use.)
To install the welding wire spool 4”(100 mm) in diameter, remove “plastic barrel” and
install wire spool with stop block and wing screw. Loosen the wing screw (5) and remove the
rotation-stop block (6). Then remove the plastic barrel (2).Install the welding wire spool onto the
metal shaft (7).
