7. WELDING PREPERATION (continued)
7.3 Adjusting of the wire reel hub
After performing inching operation, take care to adjust the brake of the wire reel hub to prevent the wire
from going too slack. The bake has been properly adjusted before shipment. Therefore, readjustment of
the brake is not required for welding in standard welding conditions.
How to adjust the wire reel hub
1. Detach the cap knob from the wire reel shaft.
2. Adjustment of the brake can be achieved by turning the hexagon bolt (M10).
If the brake pad and brake disk are disengaged by mistake, assemble them by referring to the
diagram below.
