Select the wire diameter, heat setting, and tune in the wire speed as if you were welding the same thickness material with a continuous bead.

3.The LAP SPOT METHOD directs the welding arc to penetrate the bottom and top pieces, at the same time, right along each side of the lap joint seam.

Select the wire diameter, heat setting, and tune in the wire speed as if you were welding the same thickness material with a co_tinuous bead.

SPOT WELDING INSTRUCTIONS

1.Select the wire diameter and heat setting recommended above for the method of

spot welding you intend to use.

2.Tune in the wire speed as if you were going to make a continuous weld.

3.Hold the nozzle piece completely perpendicular to and about 1/4 inch off the work piece.

4.Pull the trigger on the gun and release it when it appears that the desired penetra- tion has been achieved.

5.Make practice spot welds on scrap metal, varying the length of time you hold the trigger, until a desired spot weld is made.

6.Make spot welds on the actual work piece at desired locations.

This welder has been engineered to give many years of trouble-free service providing that a few very simple steps are taken to properly maintain it.

1.Keep the wire drive compartment lid closed at all times unless the wire needs to be changed or the drive tension needs adjusting.

2.Keep all consumables (contact tips, noz- zles, and gun liner) clean and replace

when nec_essary. See CONSUMABLE MAINTEI_ANCE and TROUBLESHOOT-

ING later in this section for detailed information.

3.Replace power cord, ground cable, ground clamp, or gun assembly when damaged or worn.

4.Periodically clean dust, dirt, grease, etc. from your welder. Every six months, or as necessary, remove the side panels from the welder and air-blow any dust and dirt that may have accumulated inside the welder.

If]WARNING

Electric shock can kill! To reduce the risk

of electric shock, always unplug the welder from its ac power source before removing side panels.

CONSUMABLE MAINTENANCE

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO MAINTAIN THE CONSUMABLES TO AVOID THE NEED FOR PREMATURE REPLACEMENT OF THE GUN ASSEMBLY.

The GUN LINER is intended to provide an unrestricted path for the welding wire to flow through the gun assembly. Over time the liner will accumulate dust, dirt, and other debris. Replacement is necessary when these accumulations begin to restrict the free flow of wire through the gun assembly.

MAINTAINING THE CONTACT TIP The purpose of the CONTACT TIP is to transfer welding current to the welding wire while allowing the wire to pass through it smoothly.
