Before performing this procedure, ensure the gas and electrical supplies are di-
sconnected.
The procedure to follow for replacing the wire liner depends upon the torch connection type of your
welder.
•
Open the side panel. Loo-
sen and lower the plastic
knob (A) and release the
pressure arm (B) (Fig. 6).
Cut the wire (in the case it is
installed) grasp it with pliers
so that it cannot exit from
the spool and fix it on the
suitable hole in the reel. Re-
move the nozzle and con-
tact tip. Remove with pliers
the wire from the hose and
torch assembly.
If the torch is already mounted connected and has a gas valve on the handle (fig. 7):
•
Remove the screws (1-2) securing the torch support bracket (3).
•
Hold the torch on its side, on a flat surface and carefully remove the upper cover by unscrewing
the securing screws (4). Take care not to disturb the components within, so that you can take note
of their exact position.
•
Lift out the gas valve (5) and disconnect the liner from its quick fit coupling (7) by pushing in.
•
Straighten the torch hose and pull the liner completely out of the hose.
•
Thread the new liner into the hose from the torch. Push the end of the liner firmly into the quick fit
coupling on the gas valve (5).
•
Re-assemble the torch, taking care to ensure that all the components are correctly seated. Do not force
the two halves of the handle together, ensure that the dowel is lined up before tightening the screws.
•
Replace the torch in the torch support bracket (3).
•
Mount the upper cover (3) of the torch by fixing the screws (1-2).
•
Measure the wire liner and trim it back, using a good pair of side cutters, so that there is no more
of 2mm gap (7) between the end of the liner and the feed roller. Take care to ensure there are no
burrs or sharp edges which may impede the progress of the wire when fitted.
•
Install the wire into the feeding system and close the side panel.
In case of direct connection (fig.8) :
•
Remove the screws (1) securing the torch support bracket (2).
•
Unscrew the brass nut (3) from the torch hose end and remo-
ve the torch from its place.
•
Remove the nozzle and the contact tip.
•
Pull the liner (4) out of the hose.
•
Thread the new liner into the hose to the torch neck.
•
Replace the torch were it was.
•
Mount the brass nut (3) and the plastic support bracket (2)
again.
•
Measure the wire liner and trim it back, using a good pair of
side cutters, so that there is no more of 2mm gap between
the end of the liner and the feed roller. Take care to ensure
there are no burrs or sharp edges which may impede the
progress of thewire when fitted.
•
Install the wire into the feeding system, mount the nozzle and
the contact tip again and close the side panel.
