MAKING A WELD WITH THE SPOOL GUN ADAPTER (K607-1) INSTALLED

The toggle switch on the front of the spool gun adapter box permits quick transfer when you want to switch between using the WIRE-MATIC 250 Feeder Gun and the connected Spool Gun when the electrodes are at the same polarity.

CAUTION

In either transfer switch position, closing the gun trigger will cause the electrode of both guns to be electrically energized, or "HOT." Be sure the unused gun is positioned so the electrode or the tip will not contact metal case or other metal com- mon to the work.

____________________________________

When the transfer switch is in the Feeder Gun position:

a.The Spool Gun trigger, wire feed, and gas out- put are disabled.

b.Closing the Feeder Gun trigger Starts Feeder Gun welding and makes the Feeder Gun and the Spool Gun electrodes electrically "HOT."

When the transfer switch is in the Spool Gun position:

a.The Feeder Gun, wire feed, and gas output are disabled.

b.Closing the Spool Gun trigger makes both the Feeder Gun and Spool Gun electrodes electri- cally "HOT" and activates Spool Gun gas out- put.

MAKING THE WELD:

1.Set the transfer switch in the SPOOL GUN posi- tion.

2.Turn input power ON by setting the POWER SWITCH in the ON position.

3.Adjust the VOLTAGE CONTROL KNOB to increase or decrease your welding Voltage.

4.Adjusting the Wire Speed Control will increase or decrease the Spool Gun Wire Feed Speed. This represents the set speed for the K469 Spool Gun and the maximum set speed for the K487 Spool Gun with the remote control in gun handle at max- imum.

The remote control turned to minimum will give approximately 50% of the maximum set WFS.

NOTE: The WIRE-MATIC 250 speed calibrated dial markings are not accurate when used for setting the Spool Gun speed.

The following procedure settings can be used as initial settings for making test welds to determine final set- tings:

Wire Diameter	Wire Feed	Arc Voltage
	Speed Setting	Setting

.030” (.8mm)	270	15 V
.035” (.9mm)	250	16 V
3/64” (1.2mm)	210	21 V

5.To return to normal WIRE-MATIC 250 welding, set the transfer switch to FEEDER GUN position and reset feeder gun weld procedure settings.
