SECURITY WARNING
Danger! Unplug the tool before opening it as live components
and connections are exposed.
Danger of fire and explosion in case of incorrect use of the hot
wedge welder, especially near combustible materials and/or
explosive gases.
Danger of burns Do not touch the hot wedge when hot, allow the
tool to cool down.
Connect the tool to a socket outlet with protective earth conductor.
Any interruption of the protective earth conductor within or outside
the tool is dangerous!!! Use only extension cables with a protective
earth conductor!
The voltage rating stated on the tool should correspond to the
mains voltage.
For personal protection, we strongly recommend to connect the tool
to a RCCB(Residual Current Circuit Breaker)before using it on
construction sites.
The tool must be operated under supervision.
Radiant heat from the hot wedge can ignite flammable materials.
Protect the tool from damp and wet.

Pressure adjustment –DON’T HEAT UP THE WEDGE!!
Engage and position the welding tool onto the material to be welded. Pull the toggle lever (10).
By rotating the adjustment screw (5) the drive/pressure rollers will lightly touch the material to
be welded, in this way you will define the POINT ZERO(0) N of pressure. Set the desired
pressure by rotating the adjustment screw (5), to every single step of rotation you will set 65N of
pressure on seam. Lock the desired pressure with the locking screw (16)
.
Warning: If the maximum welding pressure (1000 N) is exceeded, mechanical damage may
occur.
