UNIFLOOR 500
Welding Machine
Congratulations on your purchase of the UNIFLOOR 500.
You have chosen a first-class hot-air welder.
It was developed and produced in accordance with the latest state-of-the-art technology in the plastics-processing
industry. It has also been manufactured using high–quality materials.
You can find more information on the UNIFLOOR 500 at www.leister.com
Please keep all safety information and instructions for future reference.
1. General safety information
Warning
Caution
Danger to life. Before opening the device, pull the power plug out of the socket, because voltage-
bearing components and connections will be exposed when it is opened.
Danger of fire and explosion. Never use the hot-air welder in explosive or readily inflammable
surroundings. Maintain sucient distance from combustible materials or explosive gases at all times.
Danger of burns
Do not touch the heating element tube, nozzle and linoleum flap when hot. The device should always
be allowed to cool down first.
Do not point the hot-air flow at people or animals.
Connect the device to an outlet with a protective conductor. Any interruption of the protective conductor
inside or outside of the device is dangerous.
Only use extension cables with protective conductors.
The local supply voltage must match the nominal voltage specified on the device. If the line voltage
fails, then the main switch and the drive must be switched o (extend hot-air blower).
If the device is being used on construction sites, a fault current circuit breaker must be used to
protect site personnel.
The device must be monitored continuously during operation. Waste heat can come into contact
with flammable materials that are not in view.
The device may be operated only by trained specialists or under their supervision. Children are not
permitted to operate the device.
Protect the device from moisture and wet conditions.

Use only the transport box included in the scope of delivery (see scope of delivery) and the handle fitted on the
transport box for transporting the hot-air welder.
To manually raise the semi-automatic hot-air welder,
use the carrying handle (5).
To position the hot-air welder, press the guide bar
(19, 21) and then roll the UNIFLOOR 500 this way into
the desired welding position.
4. Transport
Comply with applicable national regulations regarding the carrying or lifting of loads.
The weight of your UNIFLOOR 500 including the transport box is 20 kg (15.5 kg without transport box).
Two persons are required for transportation with the transport box.
Danger of burning
Allow the hot-air blowers (7) to cool down suciently prior to transport (see Cool-Down-Mode,
UNIFLOOR 500). Never store flammable materials (such as plastic, wood, or paper) in the transport box.
Never use the carrying handle (5) on the device or on the transport box for transporting with a crane.
