The pressure arm controls the amount of force the
drive rolls exert on the wire. Proper adjustment of the
pressure arm gives the best welding performance.
Many welding problems can be attributed to setting
the pressure arm too high and causing wire deforma-
tion. Set the pressure arm to minimum amount that
provides reliable feeding.
Set the pressure arm as follows:
