Caution: Always make sure the power cord to the Stud Welder is unplugged from its
electrical outlet prior to assembling or making any adjustments to the tool.
Note: Before trying to pull a dent out of your own vehicle, it is recommended that you
rst practice the procedure on a piece of scrap metal.
Welding the stud
On the location you are going to weld, and in a area as large as the Electrode
Assembly (26) surrounding it, clean the surface down to the metal (no paint).
The entire Electrode Assembly (26) needs to evenly contact the surface without
interference to weld properly.
Insert a Stud (32) into the hole in the Stud Electrode (23). See FIGURE 2.
Plug the Cord (16) into an outlet ca-
pable of handling a 20 amp load.
