OPERATION

PREPARE THE RAIL SURFACE

Select the type and length of bonding cable to use for the bond and use it as a guide to determine where brazing points on the rail will be required.

Before brazing, the rail must be cleaned of rust, corrosion, paint, pits, or other contamination at the points where the braz- ing is going to be done and on an area close to the brazing for placement of the grounding cable. Cleaning is accomplished with a grinder to ensure clean, bare metal.

CAUTION

Always use eye protection when grinding and brazing.

1.Grind the surface of the rail where brazing is going to be done, until the surface shows shiny metal, free of rust, cor- rosion, pits, or other contamination. When grinding, use the edge of the grinding wheel - not the face of the wheel.

2.Grind the surface of the rail where the grounding cable will be placed to ensure a good ground. The grounding cable should be placed in close proximity to the brazing area. If us- ing a magnet ground try to attach the magnet within 0.5m/20 in. of brazing area. Ground should be on same work piece where pin brazing is taking place.

PLACING THE GROUNDING CABLE

3.When finished grinding the rail for placement of the ground- ing cable, place the grounding cable on the cleaned surface and then insert the other end into the twist lock receptacle in the Econect unit marked "GROUND" and twist to lock.

b. The pin holder is threaded onto a threaded shaft in the gun and locked in place with a nut. Place an open end wrench over the nut and an open end wrench over the flats on the pin holder. While holding the nut in place, unscrew the pin holder counter clockwise.

c. Install the correct pin holder and tighten it securely against the nut.

IMPORTANT

Warning! Never rotate the shaft when mounting the pin holder, it can damage the gun.

d. Install the correct ring holder by placing it over the pin holder and into the circular groove in the gun, and finally, pushing on it to seat it in place.

LOADING PIN AND RING

6.Insert the brazing pin into the pin holder. The rounded tip should be facing away from the gun.

7.Insert the ceramic ring into the ring holder. The serrated edge should be facing away from the gun. See figure 4.

SELECT PINS AND RINGS

4.Select brazing pins and ceramic rings to match the speci- fications of the bonding cable you selected.

CHANGING PIN AND RING HOLDER

5.Check that the pin holder and ring holder on the gun are the correct sizes for the brazing pins and ceramic rings you selected. If the sizes are incorrect, the pin holder and ring holder can be changed as follows:

a. The ring holder is a "push fit" to the gun. To remove it from the gun, simply pull it away from the gun.
