Dent pulling with washers creates high spots in the metal. Until now, the common
practice would have been to grind the surface, resulting in a loss of sheet metal
thickness. With the Hybrid Spot, use the shrinking tip instead of a grinder to remove the
high spots, leaving a smooth and clean surface that's every bit as thick and
strong as before. Shrinking electrode also acts as a nut adapter (refer to section
6.4 "Nut Welding"). With this electrode you get two convenient tools in one.
1. Select 2 Batteries in the ON position.
2. Fit Single-Sided gun with the contact shrinking electrode (fig. 6.27).
3. Prepare the surface area by removing paint and primer.
4. Ground the working area (refer to section 6.1 "Single-Sided Welding
Overview").
5. Position the contact shrinking electrode over the high spot, apply some pres-
sure and push the trigger to weld.
6. Repeat as needed.
