for the job onto the end of the Spot
Welder firmly.
Insert one of the included electrodes
6.
(16) and tighten the Lock Screw (12)
to fix the electrode in place.
Clamp the electrode holder of the
7.
ARC welder onto the Connection (15)
of the Spot Welder.
Adjust the output to no greater than
8.
50 Amps.

danger! to prevent serious
injury and death. if the operator
is not holding the Spot welder, it
must be sitting on a nonconduc-
tive, nonflammable surface. The
Spot welder will immediately
turn on when the power button
is turned on. the connection be-
tween the Spot welder and the
electrode clamp of the arc welder
must also be must be sitting on
a nonconductive, nonflammable
surface.
Turn on the ARC welder.
10.
Pull the Trigger all the way back and
11.
touch the prongs to the workpiece.
Release the trigger slowly until it
12.
connects the workpiece, then pull the
trigger back about 1/16”. The arc will
be ignited. The weld should take two
to three seconds to complete.
Pull the trigger all the way back to
13.
break the arc.
Allow the Spot Welder to cool down
14.
after ten welds.
When finished welding; lift the elec-
15.
trode from the workpiece, discharge
the electrode to ground and turn the
Welder off. Disconnect the Spot
Welder from its power source.
Place the Spot Welder down on a
16.
nonflammable, nonconductive sur
face to cool.
To prevent accidents, disconnect the
17.
Spot Welder from the ARC welder
after use. Clean, then store the tool
indoors out of children’s reach.
