FEEDING ELECTRODE TO THE LN-8N OR LN-8S

1.Turn the reel until the free end of the electrode is accessible.

2.While tightly holding the electrode, cut off the bent end and straighten the first six inches. Cut off the first inch. (If the electrode is not properly straightened, it may not feed or may not go into the outgoing guide tube causing a “birdnest”.)

3.Insert the free end through the incoming guide tube.

4.Press the gun trigger and push the electrode into the drive roll.

WARNING

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

• Do not touch electrically live parts such as output terminals or internal wiring.

When inching with the gun trigger, electrode and drive mechanism are “hot” to work and ground.

5. Inch the electrode through the gun.

FEEDING ELECTRODE TO THE LN-8NE OR LN-8SE (WITH EXTENSION)

1.Slide the ingoing guide tube of the hand crank to the forward position.

2.Remove start end of coil from the hole in the wire reel cover, straighten the first six inches of the wire and then insert this end into the ingoing guide tube. Push at least one foot of wire through.

3.Pull the ingoing guide tube back to the rear posi- tion and rotate 90˚ so that it will remain in this position during the cranking operation.

4.Pull the plastic hand crank handle to the out posi- tion in the arm.

5.Pull the shaft and drive roll assembly to the out position.

6.Apply downward pressure to the idler roll pres- sure arm. Maintain this pressure and start crank- ing the wire thru the system. Keep the conductor cable as straight as possible during the loading operation. This will facilitate cranking the wire through.

7.Crank until the wire touches the drive roll and then pull the gun trigger. This will start the drive rolls and feed the wire the rest of the way through the cable and gun assembly.

WARNING

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

• Do not touch electrically live parts such as output terminals or internal wiring.

When inching with the gun trigger, electrode and drive mechanism are “hot” to work and ground.

8.Push the plastic of the hand crank to the in position, as shown in Figure B-8.

9.Shift the ingoing guide tube to the forward position.
