3. Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to set up your AWithZ P20B Spot Welder for first use:

  1. Unboxing: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect for any damage.
  2. Connect Welding Pens: Insert the welding pens into the designated ports on the front panel of the spot welder. Ensure a secure connection.
  3. Connect Foot Pedal (Optional): If using the foot pedal mode, connect the foot pedal cable to the 'Trigger Interface' port.
  4. Initial Activation/Charging: Connect the spot welder to a 100-240V AC power supply using the provided 15A charger. The device requires approximately 5 minutes of charging to reach an 'OK' state for spot welding, indicated on the display screen.
  5. Prepare Welding Tips: Ensure the welding pins are clean and sharp. Use the provided file to sharpen them if necessary.

4. Operating Instructions

The AWithZ P20B offers flexible operation modes and precise control over welding parameters.

4.1. Selecting Welding Mode

The device supports two primary welding modes:

  • Automatic Mode: Once the appropriate gear is selected, the device will automatically trigger a weld when the welding pens make contact with the material.
  • Foot Pedal Mode: Provides manual control over the welding trigger. Step on the foot pedal to initiate a weld. This mode is ideal for precise positioning.

4.2. Adjusting Welding Parameters

The P20B features 999 adjustable gears, allowing fine-tuning for various materials and thicknesses. Parameters such as preheating time, interval, and continuous spot welding count can also be adjusted via the control panel.

  • Gear Adjustment: Use the 'P-' and 'P+' buttons on the control panel to increase or decrease the welding power (gear).
  • Material Compatibility: The welder is suitable for materials such as 0.6mm nickel plated sheet, 0.6mm stainless steel sheet, 0.6mm iron sheet, 0.3mm pure nickel sheet, and 0.2mm copper sheet. Adjust the gear setting according to the material and thickness.

4.3. Welding Process

Place the material to be welded on a stable, non-conductive surface. Position the welding pens firmly on the contact points. Initiate the weld using either the automatic trigger or the foot pedal, depending on your selected mode. Observe the weld quality and adjust settings as needed.

4.4. Battery Status

The device features a battery indicator on its display. It is recommended to keep the internal supercapacitors charged for optimal performance. The unit is powered by built-in super energy storage capacitors, not user-replaceable batteries for power.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your spot welder.

  • Welding Pin Replacement: The welding pens are designed with replaceable pins. If the pins become worn or damaged, gently pull them out and insert new ones. Three pairs of replacement pins are included.
  • Pin Sharpening: Use the provided file to sharpen the tips of the welding pins when they become dull. This maintains welding precision.
  • Cleaning: Keep the device and welding pens clean and free from debris. Use a dry cloth for cleaning.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your AWithZ P20B Spot Welder, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

  • No Power: Ensure the charger is properly connected to both the device and a working power outlet. Check the power switch.
  • No Weld Output: Verify that the welding pens are securely connected. Check the selected welding mode and gear settings. Ensure the device has completed its initial activation (displaying 'OK').
  • Poor Weld Quality: Adjust the gear setting to match the material and thickness. Ensure welding pins are clean and sharp. Apply consistent pressure during welding.
  • Overheating: While designed for stable operation, continuous high-gear use may cause the welding pen leads to warm up. Allow the device to cool down if excessive heat is observed.
