3.13 Wire Reel Brake<br />
The wire reel hub incorporates a friction brake which is adjusted during manufacture for optimum braking.<br />
If it is considered necessary, adjustment can be made by turning the Thumb Screw inside the open end of the hub<br />
clockwise to tighten the brake. Correct adjustment will result in the wire reel circumference continuing no further<br />
than 10-20mm after release of the trigger. The electrode wire should be slack without becoming dislodged from<br />
wire spool.<br />
CAUTION<br />
Overtension of brake will cause rapid wear of mechanical WIREFEED parts, overheating of electrical<br />
componentry and possibly an increased incidence of electrode wire Burnback into contact tip.<br />

3.14 Setup for MIG (GMAW) Welding with Gas Shielded MIG Wire<br />
A. Select MIG mode with the process selection control. (refer to Section 3.06.13 for further information)<br />
B. Connect the MIG polarity lead to the positive welding terminal (+). If in doubt, consult the electrode wire manufacturer.<br />
Welding current flows from the Power Source via heavy duty bayonet type terminals. It is essential,<br />
however, that the male plug is inserted and turned securely to achieve a sound electrical connection.<br />
C. Fit the MIG gun to the power source. (Refer to section 3.07 Attaching MIG gun).<br />
D. Connect the work lead to the negative welding terminal (-). If in doubt, consult the electrode wire manufacturer.<br />
Welding current flows from the Power Source via heavy duty bayonet type terminals. It is essential, however,<br />
that the male plug is inserted and turned securely to achieve a sound electrical connection.<br />
E. Fit the welding grade shielding gas regulator/flowmeter to the shielding gas cylinder, then connect the shielding<br />
gas hose from the rear of the power source to the regulator/flowmeter outlet.<br />
F. Refer to the Weld Guide located on the inside of the wirefeed compartment door for further information.<br />
!<br />
WARNING<br />
Before connecting the work clamp to the work make sure the mains power supply is switched off.<br />
Secure the welding grade shielding gas cylinder in an upright position by chaining it to a suitable stationary<br />
support to prevent falling or tipping.<br />
