1 Safety Notes
1.1 Intended use
The SOCKET WELDER P63-S6 has been designed to weld tubes and accessories made of PE,
PP, PB and PVDF, both in the workshop and on worksites.
Ensure that the persons that use this equipment have the necessary attitudes and aptitudes.
Do not use the socket welding device in any way except that described in this instruction manu-
al.
1.2 General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING!
Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious in-
jury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or bat-
tery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use
any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will in-
crease the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the
power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor
use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current de-
vice (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, al-
cohol or medication. A moment of in attention while operating power tools may result in se-
rious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropri-
ate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connect-
ing to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying
power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.

ENGLISH 13
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a
key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust re-
lated hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The cor-
rect power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power
tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamil-
iar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If dam-
aged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instruc-
tions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use
of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous sit-
uation.
5) Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical re-
placement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
1.3 Special safety instructions
Ensure that the voltage supply is correct. The correct voltage is indicated on the name plate of
the main unit or in the instruction manual. If the wrong voltage is used, this may cause overheat-
ing, smoke or fire.
The unit should only be connected to the mains supply and used for welding once the unit is at-
tached to the workbench using the G-Clamp. The legs of the unit should only be used to handle
the unit when cold until it is held firmly in place with the G-clamp and connected to the mains
supply.
Never touch the mains plug with wet hands.
Keep the unit's handles, etc., dry, clean and grease- and oil-free, to ensure safe handling. If the
unit is dropped, this could lead to injury.

3.2 Operating instructions
Welding with this unit consists of three phases:
• preparing the tube
• preparing the socket welding device
• the welding process
This equipment leaves the factory completely finished and ready to use; it needs no adjustment
or preparation for use.
3.2.1 Preparing the tube
 Cut the tube straight across using a suitable tool (pipe cutter or
cropper).
 Clean the surface to be welded and the adapters with cellulose
tissue dampened with isopropanol.
 Mark the length of the weld on the tube.

ENGLISH 15
The surfaces to be welded must be cleaned immediately before welding. Protect the
surfaces from weather conditions.
3.2.2 Preparing the socket welding device
 Mount the socket welding device.
Mounting using the G-clamp
The socket welding device is supplied with a G-clamp that can be used
to attach it firmly to a workbench.
 Introduce the top section of the G-clamp into the slot in the bottom
of the unit.
 Mount the unit on the edge of the workbench and tighten the screw
of the G-clamp until the unit is firmly held in place
Mounting without the G-clamp
 Spread out the legs and rest the socket welding device on a flat
surface, ensuring that it is stable.
Precaution: The unit must not be connected to the mains supply and used for welding
whilst the G-clamp has not been mounted. The legs can be used to position the unit
once it has been removed from the case, to mount the adapters when cold, etc.
 Mount the correct adapters for the diameter of the tube to be welded onto the heating plate.
 Locate the male and female adapter halves on each side of the
heating plate and bolt them to it using the allen key supplied with
the equipment.
In order to mount the adapters onto the heating plate, make sure that the plate is cold
and that the unit is unplugged.
 Connect the unit to the power source (230V/110V).

to 265 ºC.
3.2.3 The welding process
This consists of four steps: heating, assembly, setting and cooling.
Heating:
 Using light pressure, insert the tube and the accessory simultane-
ously onto the corresponding adapters (tube in the female adapter,
accessory on the male adapter).
 Maintain the tube and the accessory on the adapters during the
time indicated under HEATING TIME in table 2.

ENGLISH 17
Assembly:
 Remove the tube and the accessory from the adapters.
 Without rotating them, introduce the tube into the accessory until
the weld-length mark is reached. This operation should be carried
out as quickly and carefully as possible, within the time (MAX AS-
SEMBLY TIME) shown in Table 2.
Setting:
 Hold the two parts together during the time indicated under SET-
TING TIME in Table 2.
NOTE: Ensure that the region of the weld is not subjected to any force during this time.
Cooling:
 Allow the tube to cool for the time recommended in Table 2 (COOL-
ING TIME).
After the cooling time has finished, the welded tubes and accessories can be used as recom-
mended by the tube manufacturer.
