FEEDING ELECTRODE
WARNING
When inching, the electrode and drive mechanism are electrically hot to work and ground. The elec- trode remains hot several seconds after the gun trigger is released.
____________________________________
NOTE: Check that the proper drive rolls and gun parts for the wire size and type are being used.
1.Turn the
2.Tightly holding the electrode, cut off the bent end and straighten the first six inches.
a.If the electrode is not properly straightened, it may not feed properly into the outgoing guide tube or welding gun causing a "birdnest.")
