Assembly: GSFR* Wheels to SFR
For this operation, disconnect the device, and dismantle the cover by pushing the tabs at both sides
of the lid. Use the allen key and the spanner to assemble the following components.
1. Insert the Intermediate Nozzle until its collar rests against the housing and tighten the screw.
2. Assemble the Guide Wheel and tighten the screw. If you use a Guide Kit without Solder
Wire Perforation assemble the Support Wheel.
Attention: Always use the correct wheel set for each wire thickness.
3. If you have a Guide Kit with Solder Wire Perforation assemble the Blade first, then mount the
Blade Clamp onto the same axis and tighten the screw. If you use a Guide Kit without Solder
Wire Perforation, assemble the Traction wheel.
Caution: handle the blade carefully to avoid injury.
4. Insert the Inlet Nozzle into the hole and tighten the screw.

If mounting SFR independently from TRA, the Electrical Insulator is required.
Assemble the Insulator to your device with its screws, followed by the SFR to The insulator with its
screws.
The Electrical Insulator must be assembled for the tool to work properly.
*Not included, sold separately
Do not use the SFR without insulator if it is mounted without the TRA.

Solder Wire Loading
The GSFR must be assembled previously.
1. Feed the Solder Wire into the Inlet Nozzle until it reaches the wheels.
2. Make sure the wire passes through the Intermediate Nozzle and enters into the Guide Tube.
Wire feeding is controlled by an external controller (Robot/PLC/Computer). See the Robot Commu-
nication Protocol for SFR unit at www.jbctools.com/jbcsoftware.html
