Stud Gun Setup
Stud Gun Setup
Each stud welding application requires that the stud gun be set up properly for the correct stud
and ferrule arrangement.
Select the correct style and size of chuck for the stud to be welded and attach it to the stud
gun.
Select the proper length leg assemblies for the length of the stud.
Select the proper foot piece best suited for your application.
Select the grip to fit the ferrule which is provided with the stud to be welded.
After all of the proper accessories have been mounted on the stud gun place the stud in the chuck
and begin the alignment of the accessories.
Make certain that a sufficient amount of the stud is inserted in the chuck so that the stud is
held firmly.
Attach the ferrule to the ferrule grip.
Plunge setting; move the leg, foot and ferrule assembly so that the stud protrudes beyond the
ferrule (1/8” for studs 1/2" and under in diameter 3/16” for studs up through 7/8” and 1/4”
for 1” and 1
-
1/4” diameter studs).
Position this assembly so that the stud moves freely through the ferrule when you slide the
shaft of the stud gun back and forth.
