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.
