the spool on the end closest to the wire feed guide tube. Do not cut the wire loose yet. Install the spool spacer, spring, and quick lock knob by pushing in and turning the knob 1/4 rotation clockwise.

5.Hold the wire and cut the wire end from the spool. Do not allow the wire to unravel. Be sure that the end of the wire is straight and free of burrs.

6.Feed the wire through the wire feed guide tube, over the groove in the drive roll and into the gun liner. Tighten the wire feed tensioning screw so that it is snug. Do not over tighten. Install the outer welder panel.

7.Remove the nozzle by turning counter-clockwise. Then unscrew the contact tip from the end of the welding torch (See Figure 5). Plug the welder into the proper power supply receptacle.

8.Turn on the welder and set the wire speed rate to Maximum. Activate the gun switch until the wire feeds out past the torch end. Turn welder off.

9.Carefully slip the contact tip over the wire and screw it into the torch end. Install the nozzle by turning clockwise. (See Fig. 5). Cut the wire off approximately 1/4 inch from the end of the nozzle.

1.Remove the lens retainer from the helmet.

2.Place the clear lens into the helmet first, then place the shaded lens into the helmet. The clear lens should be on the outside. Its purpose is the protect the shaded lens from sparks and spatter. Secure the two lenses by snapping the lens retainer in place.

3.Position the adjustment arm on the right side of the helmet. Place the small pin on the arm into one of the small holes in the helmet. This

adjustment controls the fit of the helmet when it is lowered, and can be easily repositioned if necessary.

4.Position the headgear inside the helmet. Assemble the helmet by inserting the stud screw through the headgear and helmet (and adjustment arm on the right side) into the tension nut as shown. Do not tighten the tension nut completely.

5.Trial fit the welding helmet. Adjust headgear ratchet band to a comfortable position and lower the helmet. If the helmet is too far or too close to the face, use a different hole for the adjustment arm. Adjust the tension nuts so the helmet can be easily lowered over the face by nodding the head.

Operation

The welding wire is

! CAUTION live whenever the welder is turned on - whether the trigger is pulled or not.

1.Be sure to read, understand, and comply with all precautions in the General Safety Information section. Be sure to read the entire section entitled Welding Guidelines prior to using this equipment.

2.Turn welder off.

3.Verify that the surfaces of metals to be joined are free from dirt, rust, paint, oil, scale or other contaminants. These contaminants make welding difficult and cause poor welds.

All persons

! WARNING operating this equipment or in the area while equipment is in use must wear protective welding gear including: eye protection with proper shade, flame resistant clothing, leather welding gloves, and full foot protection.

If heating,

! WARNING welding, or cutting materials that are galvanized, zinc plated, lead, or cadmium plated refer to the General Safety Information Section for instructions. Extremely toxic fumes are created when these metals are heated.

4.Connect the work clamp to the work piece or workbench (if metal). Make sure the contact is secure. Avoid surfaces with paint, varnish, corrosion, or non-metallic materials.

5.Position the Heat Selector on the front panel to the desired setting.

NOTE: These settings are general guidelines only. Heat setting may vary according to welding conditions and materials.
