Spot Welder Chicago 61206

Use for: • Sheet metal, including uncoated mild steel, galvanized steel, and stainless. • Mild Steel Capacity - up to 3/16” combined thickness. • Galvanized Steel Capacity - up to two pieces 16 ga (059”). Do Not Use for: • Aluminum, copper or copper alloys. • Note that spot welds are weak, typically for ornamental applications. Operation Notes • Avoid Electric Shock. —Never touch the Upper and Lower Tongs when unit plugged in. —Never touch Electrode Tips to grounded material when unit is plugged in. —Never exposed unit to water or damp objects, especially during use. • Metal workpiece must be clean. Remove rust, scale, oxides, paint, grease, and oil. • Welder has a 50% duty cycle. Unit can weld for 5 seconds out of each 10 second time interval without overheating. Failure to observe duty cycle can destroy the welder. • Excessive Tong pressure can damage the Electrode Tips. Do not use the Tongs as a clamp or vise. Use separate clamps to hold workpieces together for good contact at the weld point. • The Electrode Tips deform during use and occasionally need dressing. For optimal weld quality, inspect Electrode Tips before use and clean, dress (resurface), or replace as needed for proper contact surface. • For successful welds, do not weld more than two pieces of metal at a time.
