OPERATION

LOADING A 10 TO 30 Lb. (4.5 TO 14 KG) SPOOL (12" DIAMETER) OR 13 - 14 Lb. (6 KG) INNERSHIELD COIL:

The Spindle should be located in the LOWER mounting hole.

(For 8" (200 mm) spools, a K468 spindle adapter must first be slipped onto spindle.)

(For 13-14 lb. (6 Kg) Innershield coils, a K435 Coil Adapter must be used).

1)Depress the Release Bar on the Retaining Collar and remove it from the spindle. NOTE: Eariler spin- dles used a threaded collar.

FEEDING ELECTRODE AND bRAKE ADJUSTMENT

1.Turn the Readi-Reel or spool until the free end of the electrode is accessible.

2.While tightly holding the electrode, cut off the bent end. 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 or "cold inch" (if used) and push the electrode into the drive roll.

2)Place the spool on the spindle making certain the spindle brake pin enters one of the holes in the back side of the spool. Be certain the wire comes off the reel in a direction so as to de-reel from the bottom of the coil.

3)Re-install the Retaining Collar. Make sure that the Release Bar “pops up” and that the collar retainers fully engage the retaining groove on the spindle.

LOADING A 50-60 Lb. (22.7-27.2 KG.) COIL USING K1504-1 COIL REEL:

(For 50-60 lb Readi-Reels a K438 Readi Reel Adapter must be used.)

The Spindle must be located in the UPPER mounting hole.

1.With the K1504-1 Coil Reel mounted on to the 2" (51 mm) spindle (or with reel laying flat on the floor) loosen the spinner nut and remove the reel cover.

2.Before cutting the tie wires, place the coil of elec- trode on the reel so it unwinds from the bottom as the reel rotates.

3.Tighten the spinner nut against the reel cover much as possible by hand using the reel cover spokes for leverage. DO NOT hammer on the spinner nut arms.

4.Cut and remove only the tie wire holding the free end of the coil. Hook the free end around the rim of the reel cover and secure it by wrapping it around. Cut and remove the remaining tie wires.

WARNING

USE THE "COLD" TRIGGER SWITCH POSITION, OR "COLD INCH" OPTION WHEN LOADING. WHEN INCHING WITH A "HOT" GUN TRIGGER, THE ELEC- TRODE AND DRIVE MECHANISM ARE ALWAYS "HOT" TO WORK AND GROUND AND COULD REMAIN "HOT" SEVERAL SECONDS AFTER THE GUN TRIGGER IS RELEASED.

5.Inch the electrode through the gun.

6.Adjust the brake tension with the thumbscrew on the spindle hub, until the reel turns freely but with little or no overrun when wire feeding is stopped. Do not overtighten.
