CHIEF 2000 HERTZ DC INVERTER WELDER
USERS MANUAL
Smoothing Out Bumps
1. Fit proper electrode in the pistol. (See unit components
- page 2.)
2. Clamp ground shoe to steel sheet (panel, etc.)
prior to smoothing out bumps in steel sheet.
NOTE: When smoothing out bumps in steel sheet, the
ground shoe must be clamped to the steel sheet to
allow a flow of current through the electrode and the
steel sheet.
3. Select program and thickness of steel sheet used.
NOTE: The power and welding time are preset and
parameters will automatically appear on the display.
If the preset parameters have been changed, set
power and time according to the chart at right or
reset the timer as indicated on page 4 to recover the
original factory settings.
4. Place electrode on center of bump and pull the trigger.
(See photo at right.) Apply only light pressure at first;
however, increase it gradually during pulsations when
bump starts to collapse.
NOTE: Heat can be controlled by the force applied to
the bump. The greater the force, the lower the heat.
The lighter the force, the greater the heat.
Carbon Heat Shrinking
1. Fit a carbon pencil in the pistol. (See unit components
- page 2.)
2. Clamp ground shoe to steel sheet (panel, etc.) prior
to carbon heat shrinking process.
NOTE: When applying carbon heat shrinking process
to steel sheet, the ground shoe must be clamped to
the steel sheet to allow a flow of current through the
carbon pencil and the steel sheet.
3. Select program and thickness of steel sheets used. If
thicknesses are different, only consider the thinner
piece of steel.
NOTE: The power and welding time are preset and
parameters will automatically appear on the display.
If the preset parameters have been changed set
power and time according to the chart above or
reset the timer as indicated on page 4 to recover
the original factory settings.
4. Position carbon pencil at desired location and pull trig-
ger. Apply spiral movement from outside to inside of
zone to be tensioned.
IMPORTANT: Heating time is limited to 8 seconds.
Immediately following application of heat, wet the
area. The sudden cooling will shrink the steel.
