You must read these Operating Instructions prior to commissioning the machine. These Operating Instruc-
tions must be kept with the device at all times. If you pass the device on to another person, you must
include the Operating Instructions.
In addition to the safety information in the individual chapters of these Operating Instructions, the following require-
ments must be strictly complied with at all times.
1. Important Safety Notes
Warning
Caution
Danger to life! Before opening the device, disconnect the power plug from the
outlet, because live components and connections are being exposed.
Danger of fire and explosion caused by improper use of the automatic welding
machine (e.g., material overheating), and particularly in the vicinity of flammable
materials and explosive gases.
Risk of burning! Do not touch heating element tube and nozzle when they are
hot. Always allow the device 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 the device is dangerous!
Only use extension cables with protective conductors.
A circuit breaker is urgently required for personnel protection when the device is
used on construction sites.
The nominal voltage indicated on the device must match the nominal voltage
on site. If the line voltage fails, the hot air blower and the drive must be switched
o, move out the hot air blower.
Protect the device against humidity and dampness.
The device must be monitored at all times during operation. Waste heat can
reach flammable materials that are not in view. The device may be used only
by trained specialists or under their supervision. Children are not permitted to
operate the equipment under any circumstances.

5.2 Changing the welding nozzle
Change the welding nozzle to the required width as necessary (not included in the scope of delivery).
After changing the welding nozzle, you MUST check the position (as described under Setting the welding nozzle).
5.1 Welding nozzle settings
A= 30 – 40 mm
B= 1 – 2 mm
C= 1 – 2 mm

The position of the welding nozzle can be
adjusted in the following three places:
• Hexagon socket screws (26)
• Hexagon socket screw (27)
• Screw collar (28)

6.1 Working environment and safety
Power supply failure and interruptions to operation
Power supply cable and extension cable
• The nominal voltage indicated on the device (see nameplate) must correspond to the line voltage.
• The power supply cord (1) must be able to move freely and must not hinder the user or third parties while
working (trip hazard).
• Extension cables must be authorized for the utilization site (e.g. outdoors) and be marked accordingly. Observe
the necessary minimum cross-section for extension cables as required.
Power supply equipment
When using power supply equipment, please note that such equipment must be grounded and fitted with a circuit breaker.
The formula “2 x nominal output of the automatic hot-air welding machine” is used to calculate the nominal
output of power supply equipment.
The automatic hot-air welding machine should only be used in the open or in a well-ventilated area.
Never use the automatic hot-air welding machine in a potentially explosive or highly flammable atmo-
sphere and always keep your distance from flammable materials or explosive gases.
Read the material safety data sheet provided by the material manufacturer and follow the instructions
it contains. Be careful not to burn the material during welding.
The device must only be used on a horizontal and fireproof surface.
If the power supply fails, if operation is interrupted or to
cool down the device, swing the hot-air blower (4) into
the parking position.
6. Commissioning your foiler
The track guidance can be adjusted by loosening the hexagon
socket screw (29) and with help from the marking.
