Selecting and attaching the wire guide
1 Select the welding materials appropriate for the welding task at hand.
2 Attach the wire guide appropriate for the welding materials you are
using.
8.3.1
Shortening and mounting the spiral liner, fig. E
1 Lay out the cable assembly straight.
2 At the torch neck: remove wear parts.
3 At the central plug: unscrew the nut.
4 At the central plug: remove the spiral liner, replace it with a new one and
insert it into the wire conduit as far as it will go.
5 At the central plug: manually tighten the nut.
6 At the torch neck: use a cutter to cut off excess spiral liner so it is flush with
the outlet opening.
8.3.2
Mounting and shortening the PA liners, fig. D
1 Lay out the cable assembly straight.
2 Sharpen the PA liner with the ABICOR BINZEL sharpener (angle
