Using K1504-1 Coil Reel

50-60 lb. (22.7 - 27.2 kg) Coil Mounting (See Figure A.10)

1.Make sure the spindle of the wire reel stand is in the upper position.

2.With the coil reel assembly mounted to a 2" (51mm) spindle, loosen the spinner nut and remove the cover plate. Alternatively, lay the coil reel assembly flat on the floor and loosen the spinner nut and remove the cover plate.

3.Place the coil of electrode on the reel so it unwinds from the bottom as it rotates.

4.Tighten the spinner nut as much as possible by hand using the cover plate spokes for leverage. DO NOT hammer on the spinner nut.

5.Cut and remove only the tie wire holding the free end of the coil. Hook the free end around the rim of the cover plate and secure it by wrapping it around. Cut and remove remaining tie wires.

CAUTION

•Always be sure the free end of the coil is secure- ly 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 "backlashing" of the coil, which may tangle the wire. A tangled coil will not feed and must either be untangled or

discarded.

6.Be sure the coil is engaged with the spindle brake pin and the release bar on the retaining collar "pops up". The retaining collar must fully engage the retaining groove on the spindle.
