7. When the welding operation has completed, use both hands to lift the hand tool in a fluid movement
vertically off the stud.
▶ Pulling the hand tool off at an angle will cause sustained damage to the stud holder.
WARNING
Hazard due to faulty weld! If the surface was inadequately prepared, the welding operation was not
completed correctly or some other fault is present, the stud's load-bearing ability is reduced.
▶ Fault indications during and/or after the welding operation, severe smoke formation and/or a black ring
on the surface round the stud are signs that the stud has not been welded correctly.
8. Check the indicators of the welding machine and the hand tool for indications of a fault. Check the stud
and the workpiece for faults.
▶ Comply with the operating instructions of the stud used in order to check the stud.
▶ In the event of a fault, consult the AFI → page 27 section and the Troubleshooting → page 36 section.
▶ If a fault has occurred correct the welding operation, if possible.
