2.3.3 Wire Feeding
When wire feeding is stopped, the wire will melt to a point inside the air
cap just beyond the nozzle face. This is the ideal position of the wire to
resume feeding or for lighting the gun. Wire feeding should always be
stopped before closing the gas head valve.
If the safety handle is released while wire is feeding, the flame will
extinguish but the wire will not melt back to the proper point because
the flame is also extinguished. The wire will extend beyond the air cap.
Before relighting the gun, trim the wire and position the end to slightly
beyond the nozzle (inside the air cap). Also remember to close the
wire feed valve.
