7.Loosen and remove the Feed Knob. Compare the wire diameter marked on the Wire Spool with the stamped number on the top of the Feed Roller. The Roller’s groove size must be compatible with the wire diameter -
.8mm rollers also work with .030″ wire &
.9mm rollers also work with .035″ wire.
Flip the Feed Roller as needed and confirm that the number facing up is the same as the wire diameter on the Spool.
Replace and secure the Feed Knob.

SETUP
IMPORTANT:
Securely hold onto the end of the welding wire and keep tension on it during the following steps.
If this is not done, the welding wire will unravel and create a tangled “bird’s nest”, wasting wire.
8.Cut off all bent and crimped wire.
Make sure that the cut end has no burrs or sharp edges; cut again if needed.
9.Keep tension on the wire and guide at least 12 inches of wire into the Wire Liners.
10.Swing the Feed Swing Arm closed, and swing the Feed Tensioner across the tip of the Arm, to latch it. Make sure the Welding Wire is resting in the top groove of the Feed Roller, then turn the
Feed Tensioner clockwise 
a couple of turns. After the wire is held by the Feed Tensioner, you may release it.
11.Pull the Nozzle to remove it.
12.Using the third oval hole on the
