Dressing Electrode Tips
1. Electrode Tips (24) deform during use. For
optimal weld quality, inspect Electrode Tips before
use and clean, dress (resurface), or replace as
needed to maintain a proper contact surface.
2. Use a file or tip dresser tool (both not included) to
dress Electrode Tips and restore the spot diameter
and face angle to a condition approximately
the same as a new tip. See Figure B.
Note: When welding thinner materials a smaller tip
diameter is required than when welding thicker materials.
3. Used Electrode Tips that cannot be restored
to a suitable condition by dressing will
need to be replaced. Refer to Replacing
Electrode Tips on page 12.

Tong and Electrode Tip Alignment
1. Correct Tong/Electrode Tip alignment is necessary
to create a proper weld. Check to make sure
the Upper Tong (19) is aligned correctly with
the Lower Tong (19a) and that the Electrode
Tips (24) are centered and touch each other
exactly prior to welding operation. See Figure C.
2. To adjust the Upper Tong, loosen the four Cap
Screws (15) located at the top/front of the tool.
Refer to Assembly Diagram on page 15.
3. To adjust the Lower Tong, loosen the four Cap
Screws (30) located at the bottom/front of the
tool. Refer to Assembly Diagram on page 15.
4. Align the Upper and Lower Tongs and
Electrode Tips as shown in Figure C.
5. When alignment is complete
retighten the Cap Screws.
