PHM-1A GAP CD WELD GUN MANUAL

CAUSES OF POOR OR ERRATIC WELDS

1. Loose weld chuck – does not grip stud tightly.

2. Faulty or loose ground connections.

3. Dirty base material (oil, grease, rust etc).

4. Voltage too high or too low.

5. Broken or loose cables.

6. Gun binding – dirt in weld gun preventing free movement.

7. Leg and/or footpiece incorrectly set.

8. Use of center punch.

9. Weld cables coiled.

NOTE: The weld cables and ground cables should be laid out in a straight line or large loops. Poor weld

quality may result if welding cables are closely coiled.

Your Cutlass welder is designed for long service with minimum care. Ordinary common sense maintenance will

keep it operating efficiently. Following are some tips on preventative maintenance:

1. Treat the welding and control cables with respect. Avoid sharp bends and kinks which may break the cables.

Do not use the cables as a "tow-line" to move controller. Avoid damaging or straining the cables where they

enter the gun or connectors.

2. Ensure unit vents are not obstructed, and that the unit is not covered while in use. Avoid overheating.

3. Keep the welding gun free of dust and dirt. Periodically clean weld splatter from front of gun.

4. The welder should not be placed in close proximity to any MIG or TIG welders, nor should the CD power

source share a common power supply with MIG or TIG equipment. Similarly the main ground connection

from the CD welder to the workpiece should not be linked in any way to MIG or TIG grounds.
