5. Setup

Follow these steps to set up your spot welding machine:

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
2. Connect Welding Pen: Insert the cables of the spot welding pen into the designated output ports on the front of the machine. Ensure a secure connection.
3. Connect Foot Pedal (Optional): If using pedal control, connect the foot pedal to its dedicated port on the machine.
4. Connect Power: Connect a compatible 12V power supply (minimum 3A, 5.5-2.1 plug adaptable) to the machine's power input port.
5. Placement: Place the machine on a stable, non-flammable surface in a well-ventilated area.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Power On/Off

Once the power supply is connected, the machine will power on automatically, and the LCD will illuminate. To power off, disconnect the power supply.

6.2 LCD Display and Adjustment Knob

The 1.8-inch LCD displays real-time welding data, including capacitance voltage (C1, C2), welding time, delay, and temperature. The large knob on the front panel is used to adjust the output current.

Figure 6.1: LCD display and stepless adjustment knob.

• Adjusting Output Current: Rotate the knob to increase or decrease the output current. The range is 1.0 to 25.0. A higher value indicates higher output. Adjust this setting based on the thickness and material of the nickel strip being welded.
• Precision: The adjustment is precise to 0.1 digit, allowing for fine-tuning to achieve optimal weld quality.

6.3 Welding Modes: Automatic & Pedal Control

The machine supports two operating modes:

• Automatic Mode: The machine automatically detects when the welding needle contacts the nickel strip and initiates the welding pulse.
• Pedal Control Mode: Welding is initiated by pressing the foot pedal. This provides manual control over the welding timing.

You can switch between these modes based on your preference and application requirements.

6.4 Welding Process

1. Prepare Workpiece: Ensure the nickel strip and battery terminals are clean and free of oxidation.
2. Set Current: Adjust the output current using the knob according to the nickel strip thickness (e.g., 0.1mm to 0.3mm). Start with a lower setting and increase gradually if needed.
3. Position: Place the nickel strip firmly against the battery terminal.
4. Weld: Apply the welding pen tips to the nickel strip, ensuring good contact. If in automatic mode, the weld will trigger. If in pedal mode, press the foot pedal to initiate the weld.
5. Inspect: After welding, inspect the joint for strength and appearance. Adjust settings if necessary.

7. Maintenance

7.1 Cleaning

• Regularly clean the welding pen tips to remove any residue.
• Wipe the machine's casing with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.

7.2 Replacing Welding Pins

The welding pins are consumable parts and will wear down over time. Replace them when they become dull or pitted to ensure consistent weld quality.

Figure 7.1: Replaceable welding needles.

1. Ensure the machine is powered off and disconnected from the power supply.
2. Unscrew the worn welding pin from the welding pen.
3. Screw in a new welding pin firmly.

8. Troubleshooting

• No Power: Check the power supply connection and ensure the 12V power adapter is functioning correctly.
• Weak Welds: Increase the output current setting. Ensure welding pins are clean and sharp. Verify good contact between the nickel strip and battery terminal.
• Overheating: Allow the machine to cool down. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit. The machine has temperature control protection.
• Automatic Mode Not Triggering: Ensure the welding pins are making firm and simultaneous contact with the nickel strip.
• Foot Pedal Not Working: Check the foot pedal connection. Ensure the machine is in pedal control mode if applicable.

If problems persist, contact customer support.
