remove the nozzle and the contact tip from the torch.
the input power cord and turn on the welder. Press the torch trigger and observe the wire
feeding into the torch liner. Adjust the pressure on the wire with knob (A) to insure smooth
feeding without slippage. Do not over tighten the pressure adjustment as it may damage
the motor. Close the welder side panel. Remove the nozzle and contact tip from the welding
torch. Straighten the torch cable to remove any coils or kinks. Squeeze and hold the torch
trigger until the wire appears at the end of the torch neck. Turn off the welder and install the
contact tip and nozzle.
