Operating the welding gun

Preparation:
– Insert the central plug of the welding gun (33) into the
central socket (63) until limit stop. Arrow on the plug pointing
upwards.
– The unit will switch automatically to the "gun" symbol.
– Select the "gun" tool with key AB (uncoded gun only).
– Tighten the sleeve nut of the central connection by turning
clockwise.
– Operating pressure at the filter pressure reducer min. 8 bar!
– Connect the copper shoe (36) of the grounding cable (35) to
a bare point on the bodywork to be welded. Use lever clamp
(37) provided or a mole wrench.
Before using the lever clamp (37), you have to weld on two
8 mm washers as close to the point of weld as possible, see
section 7.2! In this case, press the copper shoe (36) of the
grounding cable (35) firmly onto the metal sheet. This is the
only way to obtain a good current transfer.
Attention!
The copper shoe (36) must always be connected to the metal
sheet below the metal part of the body to be worked on. In
any case avoid current transfer via hinges, door and bonnet
locks, as these might otherwise be damaged!
