| PR-2 FEATURES / WASHER WELDING |
 |
The welding of washers offers variety and flexibility when it comes to performance dent pulling.
When welding on washers, you only need to clean the area where the washer touches the metal since the grounding system with PR-2 is connected through a separate cable.
Simply burn on the washers, using the adapter electrode (shown on the left), to the area desired, hook the washer with the slide hammer, and pull out the dent.
Washers can also be used for pulling with a clamp. Weld on 3 to 4 washers vertically, attach a pulling clamp, and presto. The procedure does not damage the washers, so they can be used over and over again.

| PR-2 FEATURES / CONTACT SHRINKING |
|
Dent pulling with washers creates high spots in the metal. Until now, the common practice would have been to grind the surface, resulting in a loss of sheet metal thickness. With the PR-2, simply use the shrinking tip instead of a grinder to remove the high spots, leaving a smooth and clean surface that's every bit as thick and strong as before.
Shrinking electrode also acts as a 6mm threaded stud adapter. It holds the stud in place while you weld, providing comfort and precision stud placement. With this electrode you get two convenient tools in one.

| PR-2 FEATURES / STITCH WELDING |
|
The PR-2 can also be fitted with a stitch weld adapter enabling the operator to lay staggered bead type welds. While rolling the tip on the sheet metal edge, the welder will automatically deliver an intermittent or pulsating current. Just keep the trigger depressed and roll the tip. This procedure works like a dream on stainless steel, and therefore lends itself well to rust repair and patching. It's easy to use and can be manipulated to fit any shape or form you require. You can even weld pulling tabs onto areas needed to be pulled. How's that for versatility!

| PR-2 FEATURES / METAL SHRINKING WITH CARBON ROD |
|
The versatile PR-2 also features metal shrinking utilizing its carbon rod adapter. First, the operator heats the panel to the appropriate temperature, then cools the surface with a wet rag or compressed air.
The carbon rod can also be used on sharp dents caused by such things as hail.

| PR-2 FEATURES / THREADED BOLT AND NUT WELDING |
|
As you know, many of today's car bodies come with factory equipped threaded studs. After a collision, the studs may be lost or do not accompany the replacement part. With the PR-2, threaded studs can be welded on in factory style. This type of stud is also common throughout the car body for attachments of interior, tail lights, door moldings, etc.
Weld on nuts can often be substituted for threaded studs in these areas and are applied with ease using the PR-2.
A threaded stud can also be used to fasten the ground clamp directly to the panel, minimizing the area needed for grinding.
