OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
7.1.
APPLICATIONS & ACCESSORIES The following text will refer to fig.3 for identification.
7.1.1. PRELIMINARY CHECKS At the start of each work cycle it is important to perform the following checks,
1. Ensure that the machine is compatible with your mains supply by checking the data plate.
2. Check that the electrical connections are safe and fully engaged.
3. If required set the time control.
4. Select thickness of sheets to be welded
5. If using "studder" gun, select mode using key 3.
7.1.2. HOW TO USE THE STUDDER GUN
To assemble or disassemble electrodes use two hex. wrenches, one to prevent the clamp spindle rotating and the other to loosen the
clamp nut. Before starting welding it is advisable to carry out a series of test welds in similar circumstances to check for correct time
sheet thickness and mode settings etc.
7.1.3. HOW TO CONNECT THE GROUND CABLE
Base sheet area must be at least as big as the ground bar contact area and should be as near as possible to the welding area.
Fasten the copper ground bar to the sheet with an articulated clamp (welding type) or alternatively, spot weld a washer to the surface of the
sheet as follows. Mount the special electrode (fig.3.item 9) on the studder spindle and insert a washer (fig.3.item 13). Position washer on
chosen "ground" area and contact ground terminal on the same area. Press torch push-button to weld washer. Position ground bar over
washer then use hook and bracket (fig.3.items 25 & 26) to secure (see fig.4). After completing welding, remove washer by twisting it
through 90°. When working on hinged panels, doors, bonnets or boots ensure that the ground cable is attached to the work panel rather
than to the vehicle body, so that current does not pass through the hinges.
