Stud Gun Setup
Lift
Set the lift when all of the accessories and stud have been properly set on the stud gun and prior to
welding. Plug the stud gun control connector directly into the stud welder (do not attach the weld
cable). Turn on the stud welder and actuate the trigger of the stud gun with the stud and ferrule in
place. Note the retraction of the shaft of the stud gun, this is designated as the lift.
The lift setting should be approximately 3/32” for general welding applications and studs ranging up
to 3/4” in diameter. Larger diameter studs and select applications should have an 1/8” lift setting.
