READY

 

FOR

 

WELDING

 

When

 

you

 

have

 

completed

 

all

 

of

 

the

 

previous

 

steps

 

to

 

prepare

 

for

 

welding,

 

including

 

connecting

 

the

 

stud

 

gun

 

and

 

ground

 

cables

 

to

 

the

 

unit,

 

attaching

 

the

 

ground

 

cable(s)

 

to

 

the

 

work

 

area,

 

setting

 

up

 

and

 

adjusting

 

the

 

stud

 

gun

 

for

 

the

 

selected

 

stud

 

diame

ter

 

and

 

material,

 

you

 

can

 

now

 

power

 

on

 

the

 

welder.

  

 

 

 

  

 

 

The

 

controller

 

ON/OFF

 

switch

 

is

 

located

 

on

 

the

 

rear

 

of

 

the

 

unit

 

in

 

the

 

upper

 

right

 

hand

 

corner.

 

Below

 

this

 

switch

 

is

 

the

 

15amp

 

circuit

 

breaker

 

for

 

the

 

system.

  

 

VOLTAGE

 

SELECTION

 

• 

Selecting

 

the

 

required

 

weld

 

voltage

 

is

 

achieved

 

by

 

turning

 

the

 

selector

 

knob.

 

The

 

voltage

 

range

 

is

 

from

 

35VDC

 

to

 

110VDC.

  

• 

The

 

voltage

 

is

 

determined

 

by

 

the

 

diameter

 

of

 

the

 

stud

 

and

 

the

 

base

 

material.

 

The

 

unit

 

is

 

labeled

 

with

 

recommended

 

voltage

 

settings

 

for

 

various

 

applications.

 

• 

Fine

 

tuning

 

the

 

voltage

 

to

 

meet

 

your

 

requirement

 

for

 

your

 

specific

 

application

 

is

 

recommended.
