Drive Roll Installation/Removal

NOTE: Neither of the handles needs to be removed to access the Drive

or Idler Rolls.

Cam Lever

Figure 1

2.Align the Drive Roll Removal Tool (P/N 931-0100) over the flats of the drive roll (as shown in Figure 2). Hold the torch with one hand or on a table top, with the other hand give the Removal Tool a quick snap-turn in the CLOCKWISE DIRECTION

Figure 2

3.Once the drive roll is loose, continue to spin drive roll in the clockwise direction to remove the drive roll from the torch.

4.Install a new drive roll on the left-hand threaded shaft. The drive roll will self-tighten when it is feeding wire.
