5. Commissioning the EXAMO100
Hold the testing device with one hand by the handle provided. Incorrect handling can lead to injuries.
The cordless drill may only be switched on when the testing device is being held by the handle.
Keep handles and grip surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grip
surfaces do not permit safe operation and control of the device in unforeseen situations.
Start the testing process with a slow rotating movement. During a fast start-up, high action torque
can occur for a short time and lead to injuries. Use a cordless drill that can run at slow speeds.
Switch o the cordless drill immediately if the testing device jams. Be prepared for reaction torque
that cause a backlash. The testing device may jam if not used as intended.
Always use a bit holder for the connection between the cordless drill and the testing device.
A tight connection without a bit holder can lead to unexpected movements when operating the cordless
drill. The bit holder ensures easy and quick separation of the drive from the testing device.
Watch out for possible hazardsin the area such as e. g. risk of tripping, slipping, strong sunlight,
unattended devices, etc.
The device should only be operated only by trained specialists or under their supervision.
Children are not permitted to operate the device.
Read the operating instructionsof the cordless drill and screwdriver manufacturer and observe its
warning and safety instructions.

5.2 Preparation and operation
5.3 Testing with EXAMO100
• The cordless drill/driver must be equipped with a bit holder.
• Set the gear selector switch of the cordless drill to the slowest setting.
• The test piece (coupon) must be prepared so that it does not have any unclean cuts or damage. Ideally, the test
piece is punched with the COUPON CUTTER500 from Leister.
• Set distance between the clamping jaws (3) to approx. 15 mm. The distance can be adjusted by turning the
hexagonal adapter (1). When rotating clockwise, the clamping jaws (3) move apart. When rotating counter-
clockwise, the clamping jaws (3) move together.
• Open the clamping jaws (3) with aid of the clamping lever (4) and insert the test piece.
• Press the clamping jaws (3) with aid of the clamping lever (4) briey against the test piece.
• Hold the EXAMO100 with one hand on the handle (2) with a rm grip.
• Take a cordless drill equipped with a bit holder in your free hand and insert the hexagonal adapter (1) into the
bit holder.
• Set the direction of rotation of the cordless drill to clockwise.
• Press the on/off switch and pull the test coupon apart at a steady speed until it breaks. If the weld is correct,
the fracture point of the test coupon is outside the welding seams.
• After breaking the test coupon, adjust the direction of rotation of the cordless drill counterclockwise and move the
clamping slide (5) back to the starting position.
• Remove cordless drill with bit holder.
• Open the clamping jaws (3) with aid of the clamping lever (4) and remove the remains of the test coupon.
