ThePENWELDexternalair-operatedhot-airwelderisalwaysequippedwithanairsource(e.g.AIRSTREAMSTor
AIRSTREAM100fromLeister–forrequirements/limitvalues,seeChapter3).
Applications:
Welding, shrinking and deformingofplastics
Dryingofaqueous-moistsurfaces
Shrinkingofheatshrinkhoses,lms,tapes,solderingconnectorsandmoldedparts
Solderingofcopperpipes,solderingconnectorsandmetalfoils
Activating and dissolvingsolvent-freeadhesives
Removingplasticpressburrs
Anyotheruseoranyusebeyondthetypeofusedescribedisdeemednon-intendeduse.
1.1 Intended use
1.2 Non-intended use
2. Application
Caution
Ensurethatthelocalsupplyvoltagematchesthenominalvoltagespeciedonthedevice.
Onlyoperatethedeviceunder supervision.Wasteheatcancomeintocontactwithnearbyammable
materials.
Thedeviceshouldonlybeoperatedbytrained specialistsorundertheirsupervision.Childrenarenot
permittedtooperatethedevice.

Subjecttochangewithoutpriornotice.
 * Valuesdeterminedatanairvolumeowof80l/min(outletofheatingtubedevice).
 ** ValuesdeterminedtogetherwithAIRSTREAM100
*** Theairvolumeatthenozzleissmallerbecausearound20%ofthesupplyairvolumeisrequiredforprotective
  tubecooling.

6. Using PENWELD For the First Time
Risk of death from electric shockduetodangerouselectricalvoltage
Thedeviceisonlytobeconnectedtosocketsandextensioncableswithaprotectiveearthconductor.
Protectthedevicefrommoistureandwetconditions.
Whenusedonaconstructionsite,aresidualcurrentcircuitbreakerismandatory.
Priortousingthedeviceforthersttime,checkthepowercord,theplug,andtheextensioncablefor
electricalandmechanicaldamage.
Danger of re and explosionwithimproperinstallationanduse
Avoidoverheatingofthematerial.
Neverplacethedevicenearcombustiblematerialsand/orexplosivegases.
Neverplacethedeviceclosetocombustiblematerialsand/orexplosivegaseswhileitisrunningand/
orhot.
Securethedeviceinrestingpositionagainstfalling/rolling.
Fire and explosion hazard in the event of a grid interruption
Notethatdependingontheconguration/setting,theheaterstartsautomaticallyafteramainsinter-
ruptionandthedeviceregulatesitselftothelastsettemperature.
Placethedeviceinacorrectrestingpositionduringpowermainsinterruption:notnearammable
materialsand/orexplosivegases;neverpointedatobjects,peopleoranimals).
Tripping hazardwhenairhose is not carefully placed
Notethatthereisariskoftrippingiftheairhoseisnotcarefullyplaced.
Ensurethathoses/linesarefreetomoveanddonotinterferewithusersorthirdpartiesatwork.
DangerofglareduetotheworklightofthePENWELDA
Avoiddirecteyecontactwiththeworklight.
Riskofpoisoningwhenworkingwithplastics,paintsandsimilarmaterials
Notethatwhenworkingwithplastics,paints,andsimilarmaterials,aggressiveand/ortoxicgasesmay
beproduced.
Avoidbreathinginvapors,eveniftheyseemtobeharmless.
Considerthematerialspecicationsandusethecorrectweldingparameters.
Alwaysensuregoodventilationoftheworkplacewhenworking.
Wear a respirator.

6.2 Install nozzle*
Toprotecttheunitandheatingelement,donotfail
tomeettheminimumairvolumeanddonotexceed
themaximumsupplyairtemperature(seetechnical
data).Iftheminimumairvolumeisnolonger
present,thentheheatingoutputmustbeinterrupted
atonce.
Notetheowdirection.
Themaximumairpressuremustneverbeexceeded
inthecompressedairconnection(seetechnicaldata).
Use an air lter if there is dusty air.Incasesof
particularlycriticaldusts(e.g.metal,electricallycon-
ductiveormoistdusts),specialltersmustbeusedin
ordertoavoidshortcircuitsinthedevice.
6.1 Air supply
Caution
Alwaysoperatethedevicewithairsupply.
Attheendofeachunituse,turnotheheating.
Afterturningotheheater,holdtheairsupplyforafewminutestocooltheunit.
*Nozzlesnotincluded.
Danger of burnswhentouchingthehotnozzle
Beforeinstallingorchangingthenozzle,allowtheunittocoolcompletelyorusesuitabletools.
Fire hazardduetohotnozzle
Notethatthehotnozzlecanigniteammablematerials.
Placethehotnozzleonareproofsurface.
Risk of equipment damageduetohotairjam
Notethatanincorrectordefectivenozzlecancausehotairtojam,whichdamagesthedevice.
OnlyusesuitableoriginalLeisternozzlesforthedevice.
