PRESSURE ARM ADJUSTMENT

WARNING

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

Turn the input power OFF at the welding power source before instal- lation or changing drive rolls and/or guides.

Do not touch electrically live parts.

When inching with the gun trigger, electrode and drive mechanism are "hot" to work and ground and could remain energized several seconds after the gun trigger is released.

Only qualified personnel should perform mainte- nance work.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.

Set the pressure arm as follows (See Figure A.6):

Aluminum wires

between 1 and 3

Cored wires

between 3 and 4

Steel, Stainless wires

between 4 and 6
