6 Single-Sided Welding

Dent pulling with washers creates high spots in the metal. Until now, the common
practice would have been to grind the surface, resulting in a loss of sheet metal
thickness. With the Hybrid Spot, use the shrinking tip instead of a grinder to remove the
high spots, leaving a smooth and clean surface that's every bit as thick and
strong as before. Shrinking electrode also acts as a nut adapter (
refer to section
6.4 "Nut Welding"
). With this electrode you get two convenient tools in one.
1.
Select 2 Batteries in the ON position.
2.
Fit Single-Sided gun with the contact shrinking electrode (
fig. 6.27
).
3.
Prepare the surface area by removing paint and primer.
4.
Ground the working area (
refer to section 6.1 "Single-Sided Welding
Overview"
).
5.
Position the contact shrinking electrode over the high spot, apply some pres-
sure and push the trigger to weld.
6.
Repeat as needed.
