This page and the following are intended as a guide to se ng your machine.
The se ngs outlined in the table are only intended as a star ng point. It is possible that the
se ngs will give sa sfactory results without adjustment, but in reality the quality of the
welding results is governed by many variable factors. These include, most obviously, the
welding power and pistol spring pressure as covered in the table, but can also include
factors such as stud and work‐piece material type and condi on, ambient temperature,
rela ve humidity, quality of supply etc. All of these factors can act on the weld to change
the outcome. It is recommended that in all instances, you need to carry out sample welds
in your actual condi ons and environment. This will enable you to alter the se ngs, where
necessary, to achieve welds that are most acceptable to you.
The se ng charts were established with the performance of repe
ve weld tests using
studs manufactured to the BS EN ISO 13918 standard, in the following materials :
Mild Steel, Grade St37‐3
