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 as 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.
CAUTION
Always be sure the free end of the coil is securely held while the tie wires are being cut and until the wire is feeding through the drive rolls. Failure to do this will result in “backlashing” of the coil, which may tangle the wire. A tangled coil will not feed so it must either be untangled or discarded.

5)Be sure the coil reel is engaged with the spindle brake pin and the Release Bar on the Retaining Collar “pops up” and that the collar retainers fully engage the retaining groove on the spindle.
