Welding machine help needed Hobart

You can loosen the tension where the feed roller pinches the wire, and see if you can pull the wire easily from the tip.

There should be almost no resistance.

If there is, you could have some crap in the sleeve, or a kink in the wire or the sleeve.

Also sometimes the wire gets dirty if not used for a while.

I've had to pull several feet out of mine before it pulled easily and would feed correctly once the feed roller was tightened to the wire properly.
