7.To remove the Readi-Reel from the adapter, depress the retaining spring tab with thumb while pulling the Readi-Reel cage from the molded adapter with both hands. Do not remove the adapter from the spindle.

LOADING A 15 TO 30 LB. SPOOL (12" DIAMETER):

(For 8" spools, a K468 spindle adapter must be used.)

1.Remove the locking collar and the Readi-Reel adapter shipped on the 2" diameter spindle (adapter is not required).

2.Place the spool on the spindle making certain the brake holding pin enters one of the holes in the back side of the spool. Be certain the wire comes off the reel in a clockwise direction when de-reeled from the bottom of the coil.

3.Replace and tighten the locking collar.

ELECTRODE FEEDING AND BRAKE ADJUSTMENT

1.Turn the Readi-Reel or spool until the free end of the electrode is accessible.

2.While tightly holding the electrode, cut off the bent end. Straighten the first six inches. Cut off the first inch. (If the electrode is not properly straightened, it may not feed or may not go into the outgoing guide tube, causing a "birdnest.")

3.Insert the free end through the incoming guide tube.

4.Press the gun trigger or "cold inch" (if used) and push the electrode into the drive roll.

5. Inch the electrode through the gun.

NOTE: When feeding soft jacket electrodes such as Lincore 60-0, remove tip from the gun tube before feeding electrode through the gun. When the electrode is cut off, the start end of the electrode is usually too large to fit through the tip.

6.Adjust the brake tension with the thumbscrew on the spindle hub, until the reel turns freely but with little or no overrun when wire feeding is stopped. Do not overtighten.

WHEN USING THE EXTENSION ASSEMBLY (models LN-9NE and LN-9SE)

1.Slide the ingoing guide tube of the hand crank to the forward position.

2.Remove start end of coil from hole in wire reel cover, straighten the first six inches or so of the wire and then insert this end in the ingoing guide tube. Push a foot or so of wire through.

3.Pull the ingoing guide tube back to the rear position and rotate it 90o so that it will remain in this position during the cranking operation.

4.Pull the plastic hand crank handle to the "out" position in the arm.

5.Pull the shaft and drive roll assembly to the "out" position with the left hand.

6.Apply a downward pressure to the idler roll pres- sure arm with the right hand. Maintain this pres- sure and start cranking the wire through the sys- tem. Keep the conductor cable as straight as pos- sible during the loading operation. This will make it much easier to crank the wire through. Crank until the wire touches the drive rolls and feed the wire the rest of the way through the cable and gun assembly.

WARNING

USE THE "COLD" TRIGGER SWITCH POSITION, OR "COLD INCH" OPTION WHEN LOADING. WHEN INCHING WITH A "HOT" GUN TRIGGER, THE ELEC- TRODE AND DRIVE MECHANISM ARE ALWAYS "HOT" TO WORK AND GROUND AND COULD REMAIN "HOT" SEVERAL SECONDS AFTER THE GUN TRIGGER IS RELEASED.

WARNING

The electrode is "HOT" to ground while inching with the gun trigger.

7.Push the plastic of the hand crank to the "in" posi- tion and shift the ingoing guide tube to the forward position.
