CAUTION
The voltage rating stated on the hot-air welding
machine should correspond to the mains voltage.
For personal protection, we strongly recommend
the TW 5000 hot-air welding machine be
connected to an RCCB (Residual Current
Circuit Breaker) before using it on any type of
application.
The TW 5000 hot-air welding machine must be
operated under strict supervision.
The heat can ignite ammable materials which
are not in view.
Protect the TW 5000 hot-air welding machine from
any and all standing water, rain and dampness.
WARNING
DANGER! Always unplug any electronic tool
before opening it as live components and
connections are exposed.
Improper use of the TW 5000 hot-air welding
machine could cause re and/or an explosion
hazard.
Never operate electronic equipment near com-
bustible materials and/or explosive gases.
Touching the element housing and/or nozzle
during or after operation could cause burns.
CAUTION! Element housing and/or nozzle have
hot surfaces.
Allow the hot-air welding machine to cool down.
Do not point the hot-air ow at people or animals.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Sievert TW 5000 is an electrical hot-air automatic
overlap welding machine, specially designed for
handling all types of single-ply roong membranes
such as thermoplastic, rubber and modied bitumen
(CSPE, ECB, EPDM, PVC, TPO, SBS, APP).
The machine is equipped with a standard nozzle
for welding seams up to 50mm width. As an option
a separate nozzle is available for handling wider
welding seams. The high power fan and heating
element ensure high quality welding at maximum
speed.
The Sievert TW 5000 has a unique four-wheel drive
system, which assures wrinkle free welding for thin
roong membranes. In addition to this, the front
wheels are adjustable to allow easy operation at
different angles. The powerful motor and efcient
drive system allow climbing ability up to 30°.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
General information for electric supply
The TW 5000 is delivered with power cord: 3 x 2.5 mm²,
earth (ground) is green/yellow; the two other wires are
neutral and phase 1 at single phase connection and
phase 1 and phase 2 at two phase connection.
▪ Use direct supply from main electric distributor or
use a generator.
▪ Use cables with 3 wires. Please note that the earth
(ground) wire is green and yellow.
▪ Recommended diameter of wires minimum 2,5 mm²,
maximum cable length 55 metres. If 1,5 mm² wires
are used, maximum cable length 35 metres.
▪ Use only extension cords with sufcient wire
diameter in accordance with information above.
▪ Your country’s specications of electric tools and
installations should be respected.
POWER SUPPLY AND EXTENSION CORDS
Selecting the right generator
To make sure you choose the right generator,
go through these steps:
▪ Identify the items you want to run.
▪ Calculate the total surge watts required for all items.
▪ Select a generator that exceeds your total surge watts.
The multiplying factor between rated and surged
watts for TW 5000 and TH 1650 is approx. 1.2. For
instance if you run one TW 5000 (220 V) and one TH
1650 (120 V) your total surge watts will be 8040 W
((5000+1700)*1.2). Thus in this case we recommend
selecting minimum a 10,000 W generator with 50-
amp service.
Be sure to verify wattage requirements for starting
and running. Start one item at a time beginning with
the largest and ending with the smallest.
CAUTION! To provide continued protection against risk of electric shock, connect to properly
grounded outlets only.
CAUTION! To reduce the risk of electric shock, keep extension cord connection dry and off
the ground.

OPERATION
PUT THE MACHINE IN CORRECT POSITION
▪ The machine is equipped with
separate transportation wheels for
easy transport.
▪ Tip the machine as shown on
picture and easily move it to your
desired location.
▪ Align the machine to its correct
position with the overlap edge of the
membrane.
▪ Turn the power on at the main
switch below the control panel. Wait
until you see text on the display.
▪ Adjust the temperature with the red
knob to desirable temperature.
3
▪ Select between °C/meter and °F/feet
by pushing the button. The machine
will remember last used setting.

1
▪ Adjust the fan speed with the blue
knob to desirable speed.
5
▪ Push the fan button to start heating
up the machine. The red wait indicator
will light up.
6
It will take a few minutes for the machine to heat up to its programmed temperature. Wait until the red
indicator light is switched off and the green ready indicator light comes on. Now the machine is ready
to start welding.
7
▪ The adjustable guide wheel and the
welding belt should be in line with the
edge of the overlapped membrane
according to the picture.
123
▪ Adjust the machine speed with the
grey knob to desirable speed.

OPERATION
IMPORTANT! Always perform sample welds before welding actual production membrane to
ensure proper setting of temperature, air ow and speed. See test and control of welding seam.
▪ If you are welding at an angle,
adjust the front wheels by turning the
front wheel adjustment knob located
at the base of the frame until you
achieve proper, straight movement of
the machine.
▪ Release the welding nozzle with the trigger, then lower and guide it to the
left underneath the overlapping membrane until it locks. The machine will start
automatically when the nozzle is in its locked position. For instruction on how
to stop the machine, please see section on “Stopping the machine and cooling
down”. If the automatic system is failing, you can start and stop the machine
manually with the run button.
!
The machine is equipped with adjustable front wheels to avoid sliding when welding at different angles.
The front wheels are preset in the factory for welding in a horizontal position.
123
TEST AND CONTROL OF THE WELDING SEAM
Always conduct test welds before you begin any
job. Materials will vary between manufacturers
therefore the machine settings will vary as well.
Always check with the material manufacturer for
the proper specications and machine settings
for their material. It should be noted that ambient
temperature plays a large part in the machine
settings. The warmer it is outside the faster you
can run the machine. If you are welding in cold
climates, you will have to slow the machine and
increase the temperature. Additional weights for
the machine are available to add if needed. Start
your test weld without the weights and add them
accordingly until you achieve an optimum weld.
Set the machine´s temperature, speed, and weight
according to the manufacturer’s specications and
environmental/ambient conditions. Run test welds
and take samples before production welding.
Test the welds to ensure that the tests are within
manufacturer specications. Save the test samples
for proof that you conducted test welds before you
started the job. Test welds should be done again
if the environmental/ambient conditions change
during the day.
By means of visual inspection you can check the
quality of the welds. The material must be welded
all the way to the edge of the overlap. This can be
checked with a probe tool, similar to an awe. Run
the probe along the seam to test the integrity of your
welds. With PVC you will nd a bead of PVC that
has formed along the seam, called bleed through.
This is acceptable and indicates a proper weld, as
long as it is not darkened or shows any burning.
With TPO materials you will not see this bead.
GB

After you have nished welding, press the release
trigger positioned under the nozzle and guide
the nozzle all the way to the right. The drive will
immediately stop when you move the nozzle to the
right. Set the nozzle in a position pointing upwards.
To activate the cooling down sequence simply
push the fan button and wait. Text “Cooling!” will
appear in the display window. The heat is turned off
immediately but the fan will continue to run and will
stop automatically after the temperature has dropped
to a sufcient cool down level.
Wait until the cooling process is nished before you
turn off the power at the main switch.
STOPPING THE MACHINE AND COOLING DOWN
- 8 -
OPERATION
▪ Stop the machine as described and remove the plug from designated power source.
CHANGING THE HEATING ELEMENT
!WARNING! To reduce the risk of re or electric shock, make sure that the TW 5000 hot-air
welding machine is disconnected from the supply circuit before changing the heating element.
WARNING! Touching the element housing and/or nozzle during or after operation could cause
burns.
CAUTION! Element housing and/or nozzle have hot surfaces. Allow the hot-air welding machine
to cool down before you exchange the heating element.
!
CAUTION! Hot surface; avoid
contact. This cooling process is
necessary to avoid damage to
the heating element.
