2. Safety Instructions
- Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses, when operating the spot welder.
- Ensure the work area is well-ventilated and free from flammable materials.
- Do not operate the device with wet hands or in damp conditions.
- Keep the device away from children and unauthorized personnel.
- Avoid touching the welding probes during operation, as they can become hot and carry electrical current.
- Do not attempt to weld materials thicker than 0.25mm or materials not specified as weldable by the manufacturer.
- If the device shows signs of damage or malfunction, discontinue use immediately and contact support.

4. Setup
4.1 Initial Charging
- Connect the provided USB Type-C cable to the charging port on the FNIRSI SWM-10.
- Connect the other end of the cable to a suitable USB power adapter (5V/2A recommended).
- Allow the device to charge fully before first use. The screen will indicate charging status.
4.2 Connecting Welding Probes
- Ensure the spot welder is turned off.
- Insert the red welding probe into the red terminal on the main unit.
- Insert the black welding probe into the black terminal on the main unit.
- Ensure connections are secure to prevent arcing or poor performance.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Power On/Off
Press and hold the power button (usually located on the side or front panel) for a few seconds to turn the device on or off. The color screen will illuminate upon power-on.
5.2 Adjusting Welding Parameters
The FNIRSI SWM-10 features an intelligent control system with a color screen. Use the navigation buttons (up/down arrows, select button) to adjust parameters such as:
- Preb (Pre-pulse): Cleans the oxide layer on the weldment surface.
- Puls (Main Pulse): The primary welding pulse duration.
- Intv (Interval): Time between pre-pulse and main pulse (for double pulse mode).
- Dots: Number of welding pulses.
- Power Level: Adjust the welding power based on material thickness and type. Start with lower settings and increase gradually.
Refer to the on-screen interface for specific parameter names and adjustment ranges. Experiment with scrap material to find optimal settings for your application.

5.3 Performing a Spot Weld
- Prepare the materials to be welded. Ensure surfaces are clean and free of rust or contaminants.
- Place the nickel strip (or other weldable material) onto the battery terminal or workpiece.
- Position both welding probes firmly and simultaneously onto the nickel strip, ensuring good contact with the underlying material.
- The device will automatically detect contact and initiate the welding process according to the set parameters.
- After the weld, lift the probes. Inspect the weld for strength and appearance. Adjust settings if necessary.

6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the welding probes and the main unit with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Probe Condition: Inspect the tips of the welding probes for wear or oxidation. If necessary, gently file or sand the tips to ensure good electrical contact.
- Storage: Store the device in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Ensure the battery is partially charged (around 50-70%) for long-term storage.
- Battery Care: Avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. Recharge the device when the battery level is low.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Poor or weak welds | Incorrect power setting, dirty probes, poor contact, material too thick | Increase power setting, clean probe tips, ensure firm contact, verify material thickness is within limits. |
| Device does not turn on | Low battery, faulty power button | Charge the device fully. If problem persists, contact support. |
| Overheating warning | Continuous use, high ambient temperature | Allow the device to cool down. Operate in a well-ventilated area. |
| Screen not displaying correctly | Software glitch, internal issue | Restart the device. If problem persists, contact support. |
