Stud Gun Setup
Lift
Set the lift when all of the accessories and stud have been properly set on the stud gun, prior to
welding. Plug the control connector of the stud gun 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 fer-
rule in place. Note the retraction of the shaft of the stud gun. This is designated as the Lift.
The lift setting should be about 3/32” for general welding applications and studs ranging in diameter
through 3/4" this adjustment should be suitable. For larger diameter studs and select applications
the lift should be adjusted to approximately 1/8”.
Adjusting the lift:
Remove the back cap of the stud gun.
Loosen the two socket set screws around the periphery of the lift adjustment screw.
To increase lift rotate the lift adjustment screw counter clockwise and to decrease lift rotate
clockwise.
With each turn check the lift by actuating the stud gun until the desired lift is achieved.
Tighten the socket set screws to hold the lift adjustment screw in place to secure the selected
setting.
Replace the back cap of the stud gun.
