WARNING
This product contains chemicals, including lead, or otherwise
produces chemicals known to the State of California to
cause cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm.
Wash hands after handling. (California Health & Safety
Code § 25249.5 et seq.)
Your Tweco Flexi-MIG will have one of four connections (detailed
below). When installing the Flexi-MIG, select the appropriate
connection instructions to match your MIG-Gun.
Remember that during installation, the tube must be as straight as
possible to make it easy to slide the conduit through the tube.
Since the Flexi-MIG Conductor Tubes are ¾” to 1” longer than a
comparable standard bent tube, the conduit in the MIG-Gun should
be replaced when changing to the Flexi-MIG.
