Push-Pull Gun
The new Python® and Python®-Plus models
are designed to optimize a push-pull
welding operation by integrating features
Shown: K3038-2
that will reduce downtime.

FEATURES
 Superior push-pull wire feeding
technology - Reduces friction in the wire
feed path, resulting in smooth feeding
and minimizing damage to the wire.
 Patented EZ-Lock system - Allows you
to change or rotate barrels anytime.
 Lightweight, ergonomic handle –
Weight distribution is equally balanced
between front and back for better feel
and control.
 Multi-turn adjustment dial -
Conveniently located on the bottom of the
handle, it allows for fiine adjustment of
the wire feed speed.
APPLICATIONS
 Flip-up drive roll cover - Located at the
thumb rest for easy access to wire. Quick  Industrial Fabrication
wire release for easy wire adjustments.  Heavy Equipment
 Complete with a knurled drive roll and  Automotive
a grooved idler roll - Which will handle
both steel and aluminum wire from
.030-1/16 in. (0.8-1.6 mm) diameter. RECOMMENDED WIRE FEEDERS INPUT OUTPUT
 Power Feed™ 10M
 Power Feed™ 25M

RECOMMENDED WIRE FEEDER/WELDERS

 POWER MIG® 350MP(1)
 Power Wave® C300
