Welder Set-Up & Operation
The initial set-up of the Pro-XMP is by far the most critical aspect for proper welder
operation. Proper set-up not only leads to quality welding results but also minimizes wear
and tear on the welder itself. Improper adjusting of the welder can result in excessive wear
on critical components.
8.1
Set-Up Preparation
The procedures described in the following sections cover the initial set-up required for
welding. Initial operations must be made while the welder is at room temperature.
Install the desired welding shoe onto the end of the welder and orient the shoe and pre-heat
shield as necessary for the welding to be performed (refer to Section 6.6).
Adjust the grip handle to the best position for the welding to be performed (see Figure 8.1).
Loosen the handle by gripping it and twisting counter-clockwise. This will loosen the
handle clamp. Position the handle within its 180° swing and tighten the handle clamp by
twisting the handle clockwise.
