Warning

Danger
Unplug the tool before opening it, as live components and connections are exposed.
Incorrect use of hot air tools can present a fire and explosion hazard, particularly in the proximity of flammable materials and explosive gases.
The danger of getting burned
Do not touch the end of the heater tube and nozzle when they are hot. Let the tool cool down. Do not point the hot air flow in the direction of people or animals.
Connect the tool to a receptacle with a protective earth terminal. Any disconnection of the protective conductor in or outside the tool is dangerous! Use line/mains extension cables with protective earth/ground conductors and adequate cross-sectional area only!

Caution

The rated voltage stated on the tool must correspond with the mains voltage.
In the case of a power cut, the Drive switch (11) and air blower switch (13) have to be set to 0.
For personal protection, we strongly recommend the tool be connected to an RCCB (Residual Current Circuit Breaker) before using it on construction sites.
The tool must be operated under supervision. Heat can ignite flammable materials which are not in view. The machine may only be used by qualified specialists or under their supervision. Children are not authorized to use this machine.
Protect the tool from being wet.

Putting into Operation

Observe the main voltage
The voltage of the power source must correspond with the value given on the nameplate of the unit. Extension cords must have a conductor cross-section of 3 × 1.5 mm2 min.

Switching on
Set the air blower switch (13) to me. Push 1 x on button SELECT (17). The heating process starts with the last-saved settings. Select the desired program or program the temperature and airflow as required.

Switching off
To cool down the unit, have it operate on COOL DOWN (see «Settings»). When the unit has cooled off, set the air blower switch (13) to 0.

Adjusting the settings on the terminal (15)
Begin the selection with the button SELECT Menu (17). Note: When an indication flashes in the display (16), a change can be initiated with either button PLUS (20) or button MINUS (19). Repeated actuation of button SELECT (17) leads to the next step.

Selecting the function program

Welding PVC
1-Free setting
2-Free setting

The buttonword of the selected function program is indicated by flashing. Longer text begins to move after 2 seconds and returns to the buttonword after 2 passes. Within this period, the button SELECT Menu (17) can be pressed again to adjust the temperature or the airflow.

Selecting STANDBY or COOL DOWN

Press the 2 × button STANDBY (18) when interrupting your work for a short time. The energy absorption is reduced.
At the end of your work, always select COOL DOWN with the button STANDBY (18). When the unit has cooled off, switch it off with the air blower switch (13) and pull the plug from the receptacle.

Operating condition

Check the welding nozzle (4) basic setting. (Detail A and Detail B).
Connect the tool to the mains. The mains voltage must correspond with the voltage rating stated on the tool.

Operating Instructions
Perform test welding according to the welding instructions of the material manufacturer and the national standards or guidelines. Check the test welding. Adapt the welding temperature (welding parameters) as required.

Tool positioning

Turn the hot air blower (3) using the positioning lever (14) up to the stop.
Position the automatic welding machine on the overlap of the material to be welded. The outside edge of the drive/pressure roller (6) must line up with the overlap edge of the material to be welded.

Welding parameters

Set the potentiometer for welding speed (12) to the required value.
Set the air blower switch (13) to position I. Set temperature and airflow to the required value (see page 5) and heat up for about 5 minutes.
The contact pressure is affected by the weight of the automatic hot air welding machine itself. Use the additional weight accessory as required (see assembly of additional weight, page 7).

Welding procedure

Turn the hot air blower (3) up to the stop using the positioning lever (14) and at the same time turn on the drive switch (11) (the welding process starts).
Supervise the welding process. As necessary correct the welding speed with the potentiometer (12). Lead the automatic welding machine by its chassis along the length of the overlap.
When welding has finished, swing up the hot air blower (3) to the stop by means of the positioning lever (14).
Switch off the drive switch (11).
After completing welding work, press the button STANDBY (18), so that the hot air blower (3) cools down. Then turn off the air blower switch (13).
Disconnect the tool from the mains.
