4. סעטאַפּ
- אויספּאַקן: Carefully remove the spot welder and all accessories from the packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage.
- Attach Welding Arms: Securely attach the 120mm welding arms to the welder head. Ensure they are firmly seated and tightened.
- Install Electrodes: Insert the electrodes into the welding arms. Ensure they are clean and properly aligned.
- Attach Side Handle (Optional): If desired, attach the side handle for improved grip and control during operation.
- מאַכט קשר: Connect the welder to a suitable power outlet (refer to specifications for voltage requirements). Ensure the power supply is grounded.
- וואָרקפּיעסע צוגרייטונג: Clean the surfaces of the materials to be welded. Remove any rust, paint, or grease to ensure a good electrical contact and strong weld.

- מאַכט אויף: Turn on the spot welder. The digital control panel will illuminate.
- Select Material Thickness: Use the control panel to select the thickness of the material you intend to weld. The system will automatically calculate the optimal weld duration. Refer to Image 5.1 for control panel details.
- Pulse Mode (Optional): For high-stress steels, activate the pulse mode via the control panel if required.
- Adjust Parameters (Optional): If necessary, you can manually override the automatically selected weld parameters using the controls.
- שטעלע וואָרקפּיס: Place the materials to be welded between the electrodes. Ensure good contact and alignment.
- אָנהייבן וועַלדינג: Firmly press the operating lever. The weld will only start when sufficient pressure is applied, preventing accidental firing. Hold the lever until the weld cycle is complete.
- Inspect Weld: After the weld, release the lever and carefully remove the workpiece. Inspect the weld for quality and penetration.
- איבערחזרן: Continue welding as needed, ensuring electrodes remain clean and properly aligned.
