Be sure that this stud engages
the hole in the wire spool.
To use 8" (200 mm.) diameter spools the S18221 Spindle Adapter must be mounted on the
spindle in between the 8" spool and the retaining collar. See Figure B.3a.
PAGE B-2 DESIGN FEATURES AND ADVANTAGES
Changed 2nd last “•” of “Design Features and Advantages” to: Spindle accommodates
both 8 in. (200mm.) diameter and 12 in. (305mm.) diameter spools of wire.
PAGE B-3 WELDING OPERATIONS
SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
Wire loading
Changed figures: Refers to Figure B.2a and B.3a
Changed text in right column:The welder is shipped from the factory ready to feed 12"
(305mm.) diameter spools with 4" (102 mm.) maximum width. These spools fit on a 2"
(51 mm.) diameter spindle that has a built in friction brake to prevent overrun of the
spool and excess slack in the wire. Adjust the brake tension with the thumbscrew on the
spindle hub, until the reel turns freely but with little or no overrun when wire feeding is
stopped. Do not overtighten.
