Welding the Stud
Note: It is recommended that the following
procedures be practiced on a piece of
scrap metal prior to actual use.
1. Clean the surface where the stud is to be welded,
in an area as large as the Ground Sleeve, down
to the metal. Ensure that the surface is free
from scale, oxides, paint, grease, and oil. The
entire Ground Sleeve needs to evenly contact the
surface without interference to weld properly.
2. With the Welder unplugged, insert
a stud of the correct size into the
hole in the Stud Electrode Tip.
Note: Ensure that the size of stud being
used matches the size of the Stud Electrode
Tip installed on the Stud Welder.

3. Plug the Power Cord into an electrical outlet on
a circuit with a minimum 20 amp capacity.
4. Assume a well-balanced stance and hold the
Stud Welder firmly with both hands. Push the
Welder and stud against the workpiece until the
Ground Sleeve is flush with the metal surface.

5. With the Ground Sleeve PERFECTLY FLUSH
against the surface, hold the Stud Welder steady
and press in on the Trigger momentarily for 0.5 to
1 second, then immediately release the Trigger.
Note: It is normal for approximately 1/4" of
discoloration to show around the weld. If the
Trigger is held down for more than 1 second,
the metal skin of the vehicle will burn.
Note: If the Stud Welder remains on too long
(approximately 6 seconds) the circuit breaker
will shut the unit down to protect it. To reset the
circuit breaker, allow the unit to cool down and
then push the Circuit Breaker Reset Button.
6. Pull the Stud Welder directly back,
leaving the welded stud in place with
the tip of the stud exposed.
