heat. There are two voltage heat selec-
tions (labeled MIN and MAX) available on
this welder. Position MIN provides the
lowest voltage (heat) and position MAX
the highest voltage (heat).
16. Set the WIRE SPEED control to the mid-
dle of the wire speed range.
17. Straighten the torch cable and pull the
trigger on the welding torch to feed the
wire through the torch assembly.
18. When at least an inch of wire sticks out
past the end of the torch, release the
trigger.
19. Turn the Power Switch to the OFF position.
20. Select a contact tip stamped with the
same diameter as the wire being used. If
stamped in metric see Table 4 on p. 12 of
this manual.
Note: Due to inherent variances in flux-cored
welding wire, it may be necessary to use a
contact tip one size larger than your flux core
wire if wire jams occur.
21. Slide the contact tip over the wire (pro-
truding from the end of the torch). Thread
the contact tip into the end of the torch
and hand-tighten securely.
22. Install the nozzle on the torch assembly.
For best results, coat the inside of the
nozzle with anti-stick spray or gel.
23. Cut off the excess wire that extends past
the end of the nozzle.
24. Turn the welder ON.

SET THE WIRE DRIVE TENSION
WARNING
Arc flash can injure eyes! To reduce the
risk of arc flash, make certain that the wire
coming out of the end of the torch does not
come in contact with work piece, ground
clamp or any grounded material during the
drive tension setting process or arcing will
occur.
1. Pull the trigger on the torch.
2. Turn the drive tension adjustment knob
clockwise, increasing the drive tension
until the wire seems to feed smoothly
without slipping.
When set correctly, there should be no slip-
page between the wire and the drive roller
under normal conditions. If an obstruction
occurs along the wire feed path, the wire
should then slip on the drive roller.
After the tension is properly adjusted, the
quick release drive tensioner may unlocked
and relocked and no readjustment of the
drive tension adjustment knob will be neces-
sary (unless the diameter or type of wire is
changed).
