Euro torch wire feed problem!

[Tractor Man]

Hi all

The wire keeps on getting stuck either in the gun or the swan neck of my Top 2 euro torch. The torch is new and I cant see why it is getting stuck. I am using 0.8mm wire and the torch takes Tewco style tips etc?

Picture of torch attached.

Any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks

Have you tried removing the tip and adaptor, then feeding the wire through? Sometimes they have a habit of getting caught on the back of the tip, especially if the liner isnt quite long enough.

Second thought, it has got a liner in it...? Looks like a bit of that plastic coated wire stuff thats used for net curtains....

Another one, have you sufficient tension on the rollers to push it through?

And finally, i find sometimes if the wire hasn't been cut reasonably cleanly, but sort of flattened then broken off, that gets a bit tight in the torch.

The roller tension seems fine.

I will check the liner and remove the tip and adapter when feeding the wire. Also I probably haven't cut the wire cleanly!

Thanks for help
