4. Set the wire speed to minimum and jog the drive

unit with the trigger switch until the drive roll set

screw is facing up.

When inching the welding wire, the drive rolls,

gun connector block, and gun contact tip are

energized relative to work and ground and remain

energized for several seconds after the gun trig-

ger is released.

5. Turn the power switch to OFF (marked “O”).

6. Loosen the drive roll set screw with the 5/64" (2.0

mm) hex wrench supplied.

7. Remove the drive roll, flip over and reinstall with the

.023"/.025" (0.6 mm) groove (the smaller groove)

closest to the gearbox.

8. Push a length of straightened welding wire through

the wire feeder guide tubes and adjust the position

of the drive roll so that the groove is centered on

the wire. Make certain the set screw is located on

the flat portion of the shaft and tighten.
