1. The welder should be sequenced carefully through its various functions before applying welding current.
A. Please see "Machine Sequences" information sheet.
B. Please see "Program of Control" sample and read Control manual.home
2. If the machine sequences properly both manually and automatically, the water
system should be checked to assure that water is circulating freely and in the proper amount and direction.
3. Welding pressure (Electrode Force) should be adjusted to level recommended for
the material being welded.
4. The machine is now ready to make test welds. In all cases, material or stock should
be free of scale or oxides. If practical, test welds should be performed on parts (or
stock) which will be typical of production parts. Each weld schedule should be care
fully set and properly recorded after satisfactory welds are obtained.
NOTE: It is very helpful to prepare a welding schedule chart and attach it to the welder. This chart can be referred to at anytime for reference if doubt occurs as to weld quality. Consult factory for a FREE sample weld chart for your type of control.
