TO MOUNT 10 TO 30 LB SPOOL (12” DIAMETER): (For 8 in. spools a K468 spindle adapter must be used.)

1.Remove the locking collar and Read-Reel adapter shipped on the 2 in. 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 form 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 and 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 and push the electrode into the drive roll.

WARNING

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

Do not touch electrically live parts such as output terminals or internal wiring.

When inching with the gun trigger, electrode and drive mechanism are “hot” to work and ground.

5.Inch the electrode through the gun.

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.
