Adjusting of Pressure Roll Force

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.

WARNING

If the roll pressure is too weak, the roll will slide on the

wire. If the roll pressure is set too heavy the wire may be

deformed, which cause feeding problems in the welding.

The pressure force should be set properly. For this

purpose 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.
