Each weld

  1. Press both electrodes firmly onto the strip at a slight angle. The electrodes must not touch each other — or you'll weld them together.

  2. Step on the foot switch and keep it down. The LCD dims briefly during the pulse.

  3. Listen: one short beep = success; high then low tone = failure.

  4. Read the result on the LCD.

  5. Release the foot switch — ready for the next weld.
