6. Remove the outer wire guide, and push the gun
bushing out of the wire drive. Because of the pre-
cision fit, light tapping may be required to remove
the gun bushing.
7. Disconnect the shielding gas hose from the gun
bushing, if required.
8. Connect the shielding gas hose to the new gun
bushing, if required.
9. Rotate the gun bushing until the thumb screw hole
aligns with the thumb screw hole in the feed plate.
Slide the gun receiver bushing into the wire drive
and verify the thumb screw holes are aligned.
10. Tighten the socket head cap screw.
11. Insert the welding gun into the gun bushing and
tighten the thumb screw.
COLD FEED/GAS PURGE SWITCH
Cold Feed and Gas Purge are combined into a single
spring centered toggle switch.
To activate Cold Feeding, hold the switch
in the UP position. The wire drive will feed
electrode but neither the power source nor
the gas solenoid will be energized. Adjust
the speed of cold feeding by rotating the
WFS knob. Cold feeding, or "cold inching"
the electrode is useful for threading the
electrode through the gun.
WIRE DRIVE CONFIGURATION
(See Figure B..2b)
Changing the Gun Receiver Bushing
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
• Turn the input power OFF at the
welding power source before
installation or changing drive rolls
and/or guides.
• Do not touch electrically live parts.
• When inching with the gun trigger, electrode and
drive mechanism are "hot" to work and ground
and could remain energized several seconds
after the gun trigger is released.
• Only qualified personnel should perform mainte-
nance work.
