Lincoln Electric LINC FEED 22 Manuel D'utilisation page 10

17. Wire Drive (only LF 24, 24 PRO): 4-Roll wire drive
compatible with 37mm drive rolls.
18. Wire Drive (only LF 22): 2-Roll wire drive
compatible with 37mm drive rolls.
19. Wire Spool Support: Maximum 15kg spools.
Accepts plastic, steel and fiber spools onto 51mm
spindle. Also accepts Readi-Reel
included spindle adapter.
The Linc Feed wire feeders must be used with the door
completely closed during welding.
Loading the Electrode Wire
Open the side cover of the machine.
Unscrew the fastening cap of the sleeve.
Load the spool with the wire on the sleeve such that the
spool turns clockwise when the wire is fed into the wire
feeder.
Make sure that the spool locating pin goes into the fitting
hole on the spool.
Screw in the fastening cap of the sleeve.
Put on the wire roll using the correct groove
corresponding to the wire diameter.
Free the end of the wire and cut off the bent end making
sure it has no burr.
Sharp end of the wire can hurt.

WARNING
WARNING
Rotate the wire spool clockwise and thread the end of
the wire into the wire feeder as far as the Euro socket.
Adjust force of pressure roll of the wire feeder properly.
Adjustments of Brake Torque of Sleeve
To avoid spontaneous unrolling of the welding wire the
sleeve is fitted with a brake.
Adjustment is carried by rotation of its screw M10, which
is placed inside of the sleeve frame after unscrewing the
fastening cap of the sleeve.
20. Fastening cap.
21. Adjusting screw M10.
22. Pressing spring.
Turning the screw M10 clockwise increases the spring
tension and you can increase the brake torque.
Turning the screw M10 counterclockwise decreases the
spring tension and you can decrease the brake torque.
After finishing of adjustment, you should screw in the
fastening cap again.
Adjusting of Force of Pressure Roll
Force
Pressure force is adjusted by turning the adjustment nut
clockwise to increase force, counterclockwise to
decrease force.
If the roll pressure is too low the roll will slide on the wire.
If the roll pressure is set too high the wire may be
deformed, which will cause feeding problems in the
welding gun. The pressure force should be set properly.
Decrease the pressure force slowly until the wire just
begins to slide on the drive roll and then increase the
force slightly by turning of the adjustment nut by one
turn.
Inserting Electrode Wire into Welding
Torch
Connect the proper welding torch to the Euro socket, the
rated parameters of the torch and of the welding source
shall match.
Remove the gas diffuser and contact tip from the
welding torch.
Set the wire feeding speed in the position of about
10m/min by the WFS knob [2].
Switch the Cold Inch / Gas Purge switch [15] in the
position "Cold Inch" and keep in this position until the
electrode wire leaves the contact tip of the welding torch.
