3. INSTALL THE WIRE ROLLER - The wire roller has been factory installed. However, check to

make certain the correct wire groove is in place to accommodate the size of wire you are using.

Open the wire feed compartment. Adjust the drive roller according to the following steps, see

following picture about the wire feeder structure:

a. Open the door to the welder drive compartment

b. Remove the drive tension by loosening the drive tension adjusting knob (1) and lifting the

Drive Tension Adjustor away from the Drive Tension Arm (2). Lift the Drive Tension Arm

away from the Drive Roller (3).

c. If there is wire already installed in the welder, roll it back onto the wire spool by

hand-turning the spool clockwise. Be careful not to all the wire to come out of the rear

end of the inlet guide tube without holding onto it or the wire spool will unspool itself. Put

the end of the wire into the hole on the outside edge of the wire spool and bend it over to

hold the wire in place. Remove the spool of wire from the drive compartment of the

welder.

d. Rotate the Drive Roller Cap (3) counterclockwise and remove it from the Drive Roller.

e. Pull the Drive Roller off of the Drive Roller shaft.

f. Based on the wire diameter select the correct groove. When installing the drive roller,

the number stamped on the drive roller for the wire size you are using should be facing

you. Push the Drive Roller onto the Drive Roller Shaft.

g. Reinstall the Drive Roller Cap and lock in place by turning it clockwise.

h. Close the door to the welder drive compartment.

4. INSTALL THE WIRE - We recommend the usage of .030 Flux Core Wire on this unit. However,

.035 Flux Core wire may also be used. Only Flux Core Welding Wire should be used with this

unit.

a. Select welding wire - Both four-inch or eight-inch wire spools of .030 or .035 shelf shielding

Flux-Core wire can be used on this welder. Only steel, from 18 gauge up to 3/16 inch

thick can be welded with this unit.

NOTE:

- Metal thinner than 18 gauge cannot be welded with this machine. Attempting to do so will

cause burn through in the metal you are intending to weld.

- Do not use rusty wire. Remove any wire that is rusty. If the whole spool is rusty, discard it

and use another roll.
