If that is the case, you may feel the urge to skip Chapter 2. However, even an experienced welder can appreciate the need to occasionally review the science behind the weld. For that reason, Sunstone recom- mends that every operator reads Chapter 2. -
Page 7: How A Spot Weld Is Formed
SP Portable Welder Users Guide SCOUT Figure 4.1. On the micro scale, surface roughness limits surface-to-surface contact. More contact points result in lower contact resistance. How a Spot Weld is Formed Spot welding relies on metal resistivity to heat and fuse metal. A large current is passed through the workpiece metal. -

WELD ENERGY The amount of energy discharged has the most influence on weld strength and quality. The Scout can store up to 100 Ws of energy. Operators can adjust the amount of energy stored (weld energy), and fine tune the weld results further by adjusting the amount of stored energy that will be discharged (which is called the weld pulse length) from 0.1% of the stored energy to 100% of the stored energy. -

Page 13: Adjusting The Hand Piece (If Applicable)
Thicker materials and conductive materials require more energy than thin materials and resistive materials. The Scout’s ability to control energy storage and pulse width allows you to manage both the energy released during the welding process and the peak electrical current experienced by the weld material. -
Page 14: Making A Weld (Using A Hand Piece)
The Sunstone Scout is equipped with temperature sensors. If the internal temperature nears the preset maxi- mum (unit is overheating), you’ll hear six successive beeps. You will not be able to weld when the Scout is over- heated. When the unit has cooled, you’ll hear three successive beeps, signifying the unit is ready to weld again. -

• Allow the Scout to charge for six hours to recharge from no charge to full charge. The Scout can be used if the batteries are not fully charged, albeit the number of available welds will be less than those available with a full charge. - Page 16 Do not discard the batteries in a municipal waste facility or bin. The spent batteries can be returned to Sunstone for a discount on replacement batteries or disposed at the nearest recycling/battery collection facility.
