Installing 1kg Flux-Cored Welding Wire:
- Open the wire feed compartment.
- Place the 1kg flux-cored wire spool onto the spindle.
- Secure the spool with the retaining nut.
- Feed the wire through the guide tube and into the drive roller mechanism.
- Close the drive roller tension arm and adjust tension as needed.
- Ensure the wire is correctly seated in the drive roller groove for the wire diameter being used.

Installing 5kg Flux-Cored Welding Wire:
- Open the wire feed compartment.
- Place the 5kg flux-cored wire spool onto the spindle.
- Secure the spool with the retaining nut.
- Feed the wire through the guide tube and into the drive roller mechanism.
- Close the drive roller tension arm and adjust tension as needed.
- Ensure the wire is correctly seated in the drive roller groove for the wire diameter being used.
Refer to the video above for a visual guide on installing both 1kg and 5kg wire spools.

5. Operating Modes
The RBM2100 MAX offers both Synergic and Manual control modes. In Synergic mode, adjust wire speed and voltage automatically regulates, ideal for beginners. In Manual mode, experienced users have full control over voltage and wire feed for precision welding.
5.1. MMA (Stick) Welding
For MMA welding, connect the electrode holder and earth clamp as shown. Select MMA mode on the control panel and adjust current settings according to the electrode type and material thickness.
