Danger! Unplug the tool before opening it, as live compo-
nents and connections are exposed.
Incorrect use of hot air tools can present a fire and explosion
hazard, particularly in the proximity of flammable materials
and explosive gases.
The tool must be operated under supervision.
Heat can ignite flammable materials which are not in view.
For personal protection, we strongly recommend the tool to
be connected to an RCCB (Residual Current Circuit Breaker)
before using it on construction sites.
The rated voltage stated on the tool must correspond with
the mains voltage.
Danger of getting burned! Do not touch the end of the
heater tube and nozzle when they are hot. Let the tool
cool down. Do not point the hot air flow in the direction of
people or animals.
Protect the tool from damp and wet.
Connect tool to a receptacle with protective earth terminal.
Any disconnection of the protective conductor in or outside
the tool is dangerous!
Only use extension lead with protective conductor.

OPERATION LEISTER Uniplan E
Operational condition
• Check the nozzle’s basic setting. (Detail A)
•Automatic drive
Automatic drive is adjusted as required, depending on nozzle position by means
of switch pin (26) and set screw (27).
•Guide roller
According to the application, the guide roller (25) is set to "active" (operational) or
"deactive" (non-operational) by means of guide roller knob (24) and guide roller
lever (23) (see Details B and C). The guide roller (25) causes the automatic welding
machine to carry out a straight run to the edge of the welding seam.
• Connect tool to the mains. Mains voltage must correspond with the voltage
rating stated on the tool.
• Switch on tool using main switch (17). Hot air blower (3) starts automatically.
•Important: undervoltage
In case the maximum temperature is not reached, reduce air volume by means of
manuel air vane (14) and potentiometer for air flow (20).
Tool positioning
• Swivel hot air blower (3) using swivel lever (22) up to the stop.
• Operate lifting device (11) by means of lifting device lever (16) so that
drive/pressure roller (6) and drive roller (9) are at no-load.
• If welding is being carried out by means of guide roller (25), lock guide roller lever
(23) into support bracket (12) (see Detail B).
• Position automatic welding machine into the overlap of the material to be welded.
The outside edge of drive/pressure roller (6) and guide roller (25) must line up with
the overlap edge of the material to be welded.
• Activate lifting device (11) by means of lifting device lever (16) so that the auto-
matic welder is ready to start.

Welding parameters
• Set potentiometer for welding speed (19) to required value.
• Set potentiometer for air flow (20) to required value.
• Set potentiometer for air temperature (21) to required value.
• The pressure derives from the actual weight of the automatic hot air welding
machine. Use additional weight if necessary.
Welding process
• Swivel hot air blower (3) up to the stop using swivel lever (22). The welding process
starts automatically via automatic drive.
• If necessary, the tool can be started manually by means of the drive switch (18).
•Check welding process. Adjust welding parameters using potentiometers (19), (20)
and (21) if necessary.
• When welding has finished, swing hot air blower (3) to the stop by means of swivel
lever (22). Welding process stops automatically.
• After completing welding work, set potentiometer for air temperature (21) to zero
so that the hot air blower (3) cools down.
•Switch off tool at the main switch (17).
• Disconnect tool from the mains.
• Assembling additional weight
– Attach additional weight holder (29) to the
Uniplan E tool by means of cylindrical head
screw M8x20 (28).
– Put additional weight (30) into additional
weight holder (29).

OPERATION LEISTER Uniplan S
Operating condition
• Check the nozzle’s basic setting (see diagram).
• Connect the tool to the mains. The mains voltage must
correspond with the voltage rating stated on the tool.
Tool positioning
• Swivel hot air blower (3) using swivel lever (20) up to the stop.
• Operate lifting device (11) by means of lifting device lever (14) so that
drive/pressure roller (6) and drive roller (9) are at no-load.
• Position the automatic welding machine on the overlap of the material to be
welded. The outside edge of drive/pressure roller (6) must line up with the over-
lap edge of the material to be welded.
• Activate lifting device (11) by means of lifting device lever (14) so that the auto-
matic welder is ready to run.
Welding parameters
• Set potentiometer for welding speed (16) to the required value.
• Set potentiometer for air flow (18) to the required value.
•Turn on air blower switch (17). Set the two stage switch for airflow (19) at setting 3
and heat up for about 5 minutes.
•Important: low voltage.
If the maximum temperature is not reached, reduce the airflow by means of the
manual air valve (13) and two stage switch for airflow (19).
• The contact pressure is effected through the weight of the automatic hot air
welding machine itself. Use the additional weight accessory as required (see
assembly of additional weight, page 3).
Welding procedure
• Swivel the hot air blower (3) up to the stop using swivel lever (20) and at the same
time turn on the drive switch (15) (the welding process starts).
•Supervise the welding process. As necessary correct the welding speed with the
potentiometer (16). Lead the automatic welding machine by its chassis along the
length of the overlap.
• When welding has finished, swing up the hot air blower (3) to the stop by means of
the swivel lever (20).
• Switch off the drive switch (15).
• After completing welding work, set the potentiometer for air temperature (18) to
zero, so that the hot air blower (3) cools down. Then turn off the air blower switch
(17).
• Disconnect the tool from the mains.

OPERATION LEISTER Unifloor S
Operating condition
• Check the nozzle setting: the nozzle must maintain a distance from the base
material and the welding rod of about 2-3 mm.
• When welding linoleum, lower the cover on to the welding nozzle (4) (see Detail
A:Page 6).
• Connect the tool to the mains.
Tool positioning
• Swivel hot air blower (3) up to the stop using swivel lever (19).
• Position the automatic welding machine over the joint to be welded.
• Insert the welding rod through the welding rod guide tube (19), pull it under the
welding rod pressure roller (6) and place it in the joint.
• The Guide roller (20) must run in the welding joint.
Welding parameters
• Set potentiometer for welding speed (14) to the required value.
• Set potentiometer for air temperature (16) to the required value.
•Turn on the air blower switch (15), set the two stage switch for airflow (17) at setting
3 and heat up for about 5 minutes.
•Important: low voltage.
If the maximum temperature is not reached, reduce the airflow by means of the
manual air valve (11) and the two stage switch for air flow (17).

welding machine itself.
Welding procedure
• Swivel hot air blower (3) up to the stop using swivel lever (18) and at the same time
turn on the drive switch (13) (The welding process starts).
•Supervise the welding process: – Guide roller (20) must run in the joint.
– The welding bead must be visible. If necessary
adjust the welding parameters using the poten-
tiometer (14).
•Wall switch-off (9)
When contact is made with the wall, the drive and heater are switched off auto-
matically.
• When welding is finished, swing up the hot air blower (3) to the stop by means of
swivel lever (18).
•Switch off the drive switch (13). Cut off the welding rod. Re-position the automatic
welding machine as necessary.
• After completing work, set potentiometer for air temperature (16) to zero so that
hot air blower (3) cools down. Then turn off the air blower switch (15).
• Disconnect the tool from the mains.
