5 OPERATION
6. Turn on the power source and close the contactor if the power source is equipped with
an output contactor control switch. Open circuit voltage must be present to operate the
wire feeder.
7. Turn the wire feeder power switch to "ON".
8. Check all gas connections for leaks.
WARNING!
Unless starting to weld, do not allow the welding wire to touch a grounded
metal surface. The welding wire becomes electrically hot when the secondary
contactor is closed. Keep fingers clear of the drive rolls; they will start turning
when the torch trigger is pressed.
9. If gas shielded wires are used, adjust the gas flow meter to the desired flow rate by
closing the torch trigger switch or operating the gas purge switch.
10. Turn off the power source and the wire feeder when they are not in use.
