<p>A welding torch constructed to pull consumable weld wire (72) thereto is disclosed. The torch includes a body, a wire feeder (66) comprising a first roll (68) and a second roll (70), and a lever (76) pivotably connected to the body and moveable between a first position that operatively engages the first roll of the wire feeder and a second position that operatively disengages the first roll of the wire feeder. The lever is biased to the first position and securable in the second position via a retention component (82), and comprises a first end pivotably connected to the body, a second end operatively rotatable about the first end, and a bearing surface (92) constructed to operatively disengage the first roll by moving the first roll to the second position. The securable lever allows hands-free separation of the feed rolls.</p> |
