7. Clamp the electrode holder of the
ARC welder onto the Connection (15)
of the Spot Welder.
8. Adjust the output to no greater than
50 Amps.
9. danger! to prevent serious
injury and death. if the operator
is not holding the Spot welder, it
must be sitting on a nonconduc-
tive, nonflammable surface. The
Spot welder will immediately
turn on when the power button
is turned on. the connection be-
tween the Spot welder and the
electrode clamp of the arc welder
must also be must be sitting on
a nonconductive, nonflammable
surface.
10. Turn on the ARC welder.
Symptom
