WELD WIRE ROUTING

The electrode supply may be either from reels, Readi-

Reels, spools, or bulk packaged drums or reels.

Observe the following precautions:

a)The electrode must be routed to the wire drive unit so that the bends in the wire are at a minimum, and also that the force required to pull the wire from the reel into the wire drive unit is kept at a minimum.

b)The electrode is “hot” when the gun trigger is pressed and must be insulated from the boom and structure.

c)If more than one wire feed unit shares the same boom and are not sharing the some power source output stud, their wire and reels must be insulated from each other as well as insulated from their mounting structure.
