Follow these step-by-step instructions to properly set up your stud gun to weld steel dog coil studs.
Screw the Arc Gun Connector Stud into gun. The shorter end of the stud is screwed into the gun.
Slide the gun cable eyelet onto the Arc Gun Connector Stud. Attach the Headed Anchor Chuck into Arc Gun Connector Stud. Use 2 crescent wrenches to hold the Headed Anchor Chuck when tightening. Make sure the eyelet stays centered or vertical when it is tightened so the eyelet won’t hang up on the legs later.
Screw the Weld Thru Deck Ferrule Grip onto the Weld Thru Deck Foot Assembly. Choosing the size of the Weld Thru Deck Ferrule Grip depends on the type of ferrule you are using:
Determine Ferrule Grip Size:
3/8" Heavy Duty Ferrules or 1/2" Flat Ferrules: 1/2"
1/2" Heavy Duty Ferrules or 5/8" Flat Ferrules: 5/8"
5/8" Heavy Duty Ferrules or 3/4" Flat Ferrules: 3/4"
3/4" Weld Thru Deck Ferrules or 7/8" Flat Ferrules: 7/8"
7/8" Weld Thru Deck Ferrules or 1" Flat Ferrules: 1"
Screw the Arc Legs into the Weld Thru Deck Foot Assembly. Leave the screws loose until you make your final plunge adjustment.
Slide the foot assembly into the gun. Make sure the flat side of the legs are towards the set screw on the gun. Tighten the screws on the gun that hold the legs.
Adjust the Foot Assembly so that the stud is centered in the middle of the Weld Thru Deck Ferrule Grip. Tighten the Arc Leg screws in the foot assembly.
Put a vertical ferrule on the end of the stud so that the smooth area is pointing down and the wavy is pointing up. Make the plunge adjustment of 3/8". The plunge is the amount the stud that sticks out past the ferrule grip not including the flux ball.
