Turn the machine off.
Open the right side panel.
Unscrew the locking nut [27] and remove it from the
spindle [30].
Place the adapter of spool type Readi-Reel® [41] on
the spindle [30].Make certain that the spindle brake pin
[31] is put in the hole in the back side of the adapter.
The adapter of spool type Readi-Reel® can be
purchased separately (see "Accessories" chapter).
Re-install the locking nut [27]. Make sure that the
locking nut is tightened.
Rotate the spindle and adapter so the retaining spring
[42] is at the 12 o'clock position.
Place the spool type Readi-Reel® [44] on the adapter
[41]. Set one of the Readi-Reel® inside cage wires
[40] on the slot [43] in the retaining spring tab [42].
WARNING
Position the spool type Readi-Reel
a direction when feeding so as to be de-reeled from
bottom of the spool.
Loading the Electrode Wire
Turn the machine off.
Open the right side panel of the machine.
Unscrew the fastening cap of the sleeve.
Load the spool with the wire [16] on the sleeve such
that the spool turns clockwise when the wire [15] is fed
into the wire feeder.
Make sure that the spool locating pin goes into the
fitting hole on the spool.
Screw in the fastening cap of the sleeve.
Put on the wire roll using the correct groove
corresponding to the wire diameter.
Free the end of the wire and cut off the bent end
making sure it has no burr.
WARNING
Sharp end of the wire can hurt.
Rotate the wire spool clockwise and thread the end of
the wire into the wire feeder as far as the Euro Socket.

Adjustments of Brake Torque of Sleeve
To avoid spontaneous unrolling of the welding wire the
sleeve is fitted with a brake.
Adjustment is carried by rotation of its screw M10, which
is placed inside of the sleeve frame after unscrewing the
locking nut of the sleeve.
27. Locking Nut.
28. Adjusting Screw M10.
29. Pressing Spring.
Turning the screw M10 clockwise increases the spring
tension and you can increase the brake torque
Turning the screw M10 anticlockwise decreases the
spring tension and you can decrease the brake torque.
After finishing of adjustment, you should screw in the
locking nut again.
Adjusting Pressure Roll Force
45
51
The pressure arm controls the amount of force the drive
rolls exert on the wire.
Pressure force is adjusted by turning the adjustment nut
clockwise to increase force, counterclockwise to decrease
force. Proper adjustment of pressure arm gives the best
welding performance.
If the roll pressure is too low the roll will slide on the wire.
If the roll pressure is set too high the wire may be
deformed, which will cause feeding problems in the
welding gun. The pressure force should be set properly.
Decrease the pressure force slowly until the wire just
begins to slide on the drive roll and then increase the
force slightly by turning of the adjustment nut by one turn.
