hot-air welder
Congratulations on your purchase of the UNIPLAN 300 / 500.
You have chosen a first-class hot-air welder.
It was developed and produced in accordance with the very latest state of technology in the plastics-processing
industry.
It has also been manufactured using high-quality materials.
You can find more information on the UNIPLAN 300 / 500 at www.leister.com
• Manually-guided hot-air welder for overlap welding, hem welding or pipe welding PVC, PE and similar mate-
rials.
• For use in well-ventilated areas.
• Welding widths: 20mm, 30mm and 40mm
The statutory health and safety regulations applicable in the country of use must be complied with. Never use
the hot-air welder in explosive or readily flammable surroundings. Maintain sucient distance from combustible
materials or explosive gases at all times.
Read the material safety data sheet from the material manufacturer and follow their instructions. Be careful not to
burn the material during the welding process.
Any other use of the UNIPLAN 300 / 500 or any use beyond the type of use described is deemed improper use.
The safety instructions for the device can be found in the section on “Safety Instructions – Automatic Welders/Ex-
trusion Welders/Welding Machines” in the document provided.
You can also find this document in the operating instructions on our website.
Power cord and extension cable
• The power cord (3) must be able to move freely and
must not hinder the user or third parties during work (trip
hazard).
• Any extension cables must be approved for the utilization
site and be marked accordingly. Take into account the
necessary minimum conductor cross-section for extension cables, as required.
On-site generators for power supply
When using on-site generators as a power supply, please ensure that the on-site generators are grounded and
equipped with residual-current circuit breakers.
For the nominal output of on-site generators, the formula "2 × nominal output of the hot-air welder applies".
