Intended Use

Our stud welding unit are designed and built exclusively for industrial use. Nonindus-
trial use is expressly forbidden due to the lack of know-how about the welding tech-
nology employed and the applicable standards.
The power unit is intended exclusively for stud welding of standardised welding
elements. Any other use will result in the desired strength of the welded joint being
reduced.
The HBS welding guns A 12, A 16, A 22 and AI 06 may only be connected to this
power unit.
The intended use also implies observance of the operating manual on the welding
gun used and compliance with the intervals and conditions for inspection and main-
tenance of the power unit and the components employed.
Always check with the operating manual of your welding gun whether it may be used
with this power unit.
The stud welding unit must be suitable for welding the welding elements in use.
Welding elements manufactured with the cold formed process have a flange and an
ignition tip. During welding, the flange prevents the arc getting to the cylindric part of
the welding element and increases simultaneously the welding area.
Please refer to the operating manual of your welding gun for detailed
information on which welding elements may be used.
