Setting the wire feed pressure

Start by making sure that the wire moves smoothly through the wire guide. Then set the
pressure of the wire feeder's pressure rollers. It is important that the pressure is not too
high.
To check that the feed pressure is set correctly, you can feed out the wire against an
insulated object, e.g. a piece of wood.
When you hold the welding torch approximately 6 mm (¼") from the piece of wood
(illustration A) the feed rollers should slip.
If you hold the welding torch approximately 50 mm (2") from the piece of wood, the wire
should be fed out and bend (illustration B).
