 WELDNG WIRE INSTALLATION
The MIG140 welding machine can use wire spools up to 8“ diameter (200mm) and a maximum
width under 2” (50mm). If you use the smaller 4“ diameter (100mm) wire spools the 2” (50mm)
spindle adapter must removed.
For installation of a 8” (200mm) welding wire spool (See Figure D-1).
Install the 8“ (200mm) welding wire spool on the wire spindle ○1 ○2 making sure the wire spool
spindle tab engages the hole in the wire spool. (Note: The wire spool will rotate clockwise when wire
is de-reeled).
For installation of a 4“ diameter (100mm) welding wire spool (See Figure D-2).
The 2” (50mm) diameter spindle must be removed ○2 . ○4 Remove the wing screw○5 and remove
the outside plastic wire spool spindle ○6 . A 4” (100mm) diameter spool is mounted directly on a 5/8”
(16mm) diameter shaft and held in place with the previously removed hardware.○7 (NOTE: The wire
spool will rotate clockwise when wire is de-reeled) Also, makes certain the start end of the welding
wire, which may protrude through the side of the spool does not contact any metallic case parts
