Wire Loading

Your MIG welder is designed to accept either 4" or 8" wire spools of mild steel, stainless steel or
aluminum according to the type of metal you wish to weld. Wire spools aren't supplied with the unit
and must be purchased separately.
ENSURE GAS IS DISCONNECTED. Before proceeding, remove the nozzle and the contact
tip from the torch.
• Open the side panel. Loosen the nut of the spool holder. Remove the spacer. In case you are
replacing the wire spool, extract it by pushing the snap tongue.
• Remove the plastic protection from the spool. Place spool on the spool holder. Mount the
spacer again (only for 8" spools) and tighten the lock nut.
Your MIG welder can also accept 4" wire spools. To mount 4" spools:
• Remove the wire spool from the spool holder.
• Loosen the nut, remove the spring and the washer; remove the spool holder from the pivot.
• Insert on the pivot the 4" wire spool; Mount the washer, the spacer and the spring.
• Tighten the lock nut.
TIGHTEN NUT. EXCESSIVE PRESSURE STRAINS THE WIRE FEEDING MOTOR. TOO
LITTLE PRESSURE DOES NOT ALLOW THE WIRE SPOOL TO STOP IMMEDIATELY.

NOTE
Argon controls spatter
Oxygen improves arc stability
Arc stability, good fusion and minimum splatter.
Higher heat input suitable for heavy sections.
Minimum porosity.
Arc stability.
Minimum splatter.
Suitable for light gauges because of low
flowability of the weld pool.
Higher heat input suitable for heavy sections.
