SELECTING THE SPRING LOAD
The proper spring pre‐load setting on the stud gun will vary depending on the se‐
lected application. Generals rules of application would be; mild steel or stainless
steel usually in the 1 to 2 range, depending on the stud diameter and the thickness of
the base material. Aluminum and other nonferrous metals would require settings
from 3 to 5 depending on the diameter of the stud and base material thickness.
This spring pre‐load adjustment is made by turning the screw insert in the back of the
stud gun with a screwdriver. On the bottom of the back cap of the stud gun is the
indicator numbered 1 thru 5, which will show you the tension setting during the ad‐
justment.
