Abstract
A welding system has a wire feeder having an adjustable lift point. The wire feeder includes a wire supply source configured to supply welding wire, a wire drive assembly configured to feed wire to a welding gun from the spool, and a support base. The wire supply source and the wire drive assembly are supported by the base. A lift member is connected to the support base and is selectively movable in at least one direction with respect to the support base to enable adjustment of the lift point of the wire feeder.
