Lincoln Electric IM810 manual Wire Threading Refer to Figure B.4

1.

Release the Spring Loaded Pressure Arm (1)

rotate the Idle Roll Arm (2) away from the Wire

Feed Drive Roll (3). Ensure that the groove size in

the feeding position on the drive roll matches the

wire size being used. See Maintenance section for

further information.

2.

Carefully detach the end of the wire from the

spool. To prevent the spool from unwinding, main-

tain tension on the wire until after step 5.

3.

Cut the bent portion of wire off and straighten the

first 4” (100mm).

4.

Thread the wire through the ingoing guide tube

(4), over the drive roll (3), and into the outgoing

guide tube (5).

5. Close the idle roll arm (2) and latch the spring

loaded pressure arm (1) in place. Rotate the spool

counterclockwise if required to take up extra slack

in the wire.

6. The idle roll pressure adjustment wing nut is facto-

ry set to approximately five full turns from where

the wing nut first engages the threads of the pres-

sure arm (1). If feeding problems occur because

the wire is flattened excessively, turn the pressure

adjustment counter-clockwise to reduce distortion

of the wire. Slightly less pressure may be required

when using 0.023 – 0.025" (0,6 mm) wire. If the

drive roll slips while feeding wire, the pressure

should be increased until the wire feeds properly.
