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 PR-2000, 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. Push the Single-Sided weld mode button (fig 6.3). Single Sided Weld Programs
will display on the screen (fig. 6.5). The PR-2000 software defaults to Single Spot
Weld Mode (fig. 6.6).
2. Select Contact Shrinking Program by pressing the Left or Right Navigatioin
Buttons (fig. 4.9). Make sure that Contact Shrinking graphic appears on the
screen (fig. 6.25)
3. Choose weld power level by pressing the "Next Program" button repeatedly.
(refer to section 4.6 "Setting the weld program").
4. Fit Single-Sided gun with the contact shrinking electrode (fig. 6.27).
5. Prepare the surface area by removing paint and primer.
6. Ground the working area (refer to section 6.1 "Single-Sided Welding
Overview").
7. Position the contact shrinking electrode over the high spot, apply some pres-
sure and push the trigger to weld.
8. Repeat as needed.
Carbon Rod is used to shrink or stretch metal on a vehicle. The carbon rod can
also be used on sharp dents caused by such things as hail.
1. Push the Single-Sided weld mode button (fig 6.3). Single Sided Weld Programs
will display on the screen (fig. 6.5). The PR-2000 software defaults to Single Spot
Weld Mode (fig. 6.6).
2. Select Carbon Shrink Program by pressing the Left or Right Navigatioin
Buttons (fig. 4.9). Make sure that Carbon Shrink graphic appears on the screen
(fig. 6.28)
3. Choose weld power level by pressing the "Next Program" button repeatedly.
(refer to section 4.6 "Setting the weld program").
4. Fit the Single-Sided Gun with Carbon Electrode (fig. 6.30).
5. Clean the metal surface area.
6. Ground the working area (refer to section 6.1 "Single-Sided Welding
Overview").
7. Position carbon rod over the work area and push the trigger to start welding.
Keep trigger depressed to continue welding. Move the carbon rod in such a way
as to heat up the entire working area to the appropriate temperature. Release the
trigger to stop welding.
8. Cool the surface with a wet rag or compressed air.
