Before you begin welding, be sure to read the instructions in this instruction
manual and that you understand them. Be sure to follow the car manufactur-
ers instructions as well, for example welding parameters.
With the CTR9, a high current is applied through the work piece. When the
current is transferred through the work piece, the resistance in the metals
heats the metal and fuses the metals together to a weld nugget.
