REMOVING THE PINS
1.
Once the dent has been successfully ‘pulled’, the Pins need to be removed from the surface.
The pins can be cut off near the heads and ground down using a DA Sander or Flap Disc on a
Grinder. Do not allow the metal to get too hot when grinding or it could warp the panel.
APPLICATION
Stud welding is a method used for removing dents in sheet metal with advantages that really stand
out when using on panels where it is not possible to get to the backside with a hammer and dolly. As
with many other sheet metal repair tasks it will take some practice to acquire the skill to master the
Slide Hammer technique.
NOTE:
To avoid further damage on a project, It is strongly recommended to
practice on scrap metal or damaged salvage yard parts before using on your project. To remove a dent
you can follow the following basic steps:
1.
Identify where the dent is located on the panel.
2.
Use either a grinder with a fl ap disc or a DA Sander with 40 Grit paper to remove all of the
paint. If there are deep areas with a disc cannot get into, use a wire brush on an angle grinder
or drill.
3.
Once all of the paint is removed, locate the lowest spots of the dent and start by adding pins to
these locations.
4.
Apply the Slide hammer by slipping the open Collet on the Slide Hammer over the Pin.
5.
Tighten the Collet of the Slide Hammer on the Pin by rotating the hex section until it grips the
Pin. It can quickly be released by rotating the hex in the opposite direction.
6.
Use a sharp, solid, outward pull on the Sliding Weight of the Slide Hammer allowing it to stop
against the Hand Grip to pull the dent. Some dents will require more force than others.

PINCH HAZARD!
Keep hands and fi ngers out from between moving components of the Slide
Hammer. Keep hands fi rmly on the Hand Grip sections of the tool only.
FLYING METAL CHIP HAZARD!
Grinding and sanding will eject metal chips, dust, debris and sparks at high
velocity. To prevent eye injury wear approved safety glasses. Wear an OSHA-
approved respirator when grinding or sanding. Read all manuals included with
specifi c grinders, sanders or other power tools used before and after the Stud
Welding process. Be aware of all power tool safety warnings.
