LINER REMOVAL, INSTALLATION AND TRIMMING
INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAGNUM PRO 250L
NOTE: The variation in cable lengths prevents the
interchangeability of liners between guns. Once a liner
has been cut for a particular gun, it should not be
installed in another gun unless it can meet the liner
cutoff length requirement. Liners are shipped with the
jacket of the liner extended the proper amount.
1. Remove the gas nozzle and nozzle insulator, if
used, to locate the set screw in the gas diffuser
which is used to hold the old liner in place. Loosen
the set screw with a 5/64" (2.0 mm) Allen wrench.
2. Remove the gas diffuser from the gun tube.
3. Lay the gun and cable out straight on a flat surface.
Loosen the set screw located in the brass connec-
tor at the feeder end of the cable and pull the liner
out of the cable.
4. Insert a new untrimmed liner into the connector
end of the cable. Be sure the liner bushing is sten-
cilled appropriately for the wire size being used.
5. Fully seat the liner bushing into the connector.
tighten the set screw on the brass cable connector.
The gas diffuser, at this time, should not be
installed onto the end of the gun tube.
6. With the gas diffuser still removed from the gun
tube, be sure the cable is straight, and then trim
the liner to the length shown in Figure D.1.
Remove any burrs from the end of the liner.

against the cable liner using a 5/64" (2.0 mm) Allen
wrench.
