WIRE REEL LOADING – 50 AND 60 LB COILS (K1524-1 UNIVERSAL WIRE REEL STAND)

TO MOUNT A 50 to 60 lb (22.7 to 27.2 kg) COIL: (USING K1504-1 COIL REEL) (FOR 50 to 60 lb

READI-REELS A K438 READI-REEL ADAPTER MUST BE USED.)

The spindle should be located in the UPPER mount- ing hole.

1.With the K-1504-1 Coil Reel mounted on the 2 in. (51 mm) spindle (or with reel laying flat on the floor) loosen the spinner nut and remove the reel cover. See Figure B.3.

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 wrap it around to secure. Cut and remove the retaining 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 “backlash” 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 is engaged with the spindle brake pin and the Release Bar and Retaining Collar “pops up” and that the collar retainers fully engage the retaining groove on the spindle.

Feeding Electrode

1)Turn the reel until the free end of the electrode is accessible. While tightly holding the electrode, cut off the bent end.

2)Straighten the first 6” (150mm) and cut off the first 1” (25mm). Insert the free end through the incoming guide tube. Press the Cold Inch key or the gun trigger and push the electrode into the drive roll. Feed the electrode through the gun. (If the electrode is not properly straightened, it may not feed or may not go into the outgoing guide tube causing a “birdnest”.)

WARNING

When feeding with the gun trigger, the electrode and drive mechanism are always “HOT” to work and ground and could remain “HOT” several seconds after the gun trigger is released.
