Install The Welding Wire - Clarke HOT SHOT SPOOL GUN WELDER FLUXCORE/MIG 135SG Mode D'emploi

Adjust the drive roller according to the follow-
ing steps:
1. Open the Wire Drive cover on the Spool
Gun.
2. Remove the drive tension by loosening
the tension adjusting screw and lifting the
Drive Tension Adjustor up, away from the
Drive Tension Arm. Pull the drive tension
arm away from the drive roller.
3. If there is wire already installed in the
welder, roll it back onto the wire spool by
hand-turning the spool clockwise. Be
careful not to allow the wire to come out
of the rear end of the inlet guide tube
without holding onto it or it will unspool
itself. Put the end of the wire into the
hole on the outside edge of the wire
spool and bend it over to hold the wire in
place. Remove the spool of wire from the
spool gun.
4. Rotate the Drive Roller Cap counterclock-
wise and remove it from the Drive Roller.

ing you. Use only the proper size drive roller
when using your welder.
