By using the clamping beams the plastic sheets are clamped. Afterwards the position of the
sheets are checked and if necessary changed.
Now the heating element is swivelled in and the sheets are pressed on the heating element at a
defined pressure. This process is called "adjusting".
The applied power can be seen on the range display you find on the machine.
Having reached the mandatory bead height the pressure is reduced, the heating time begins.
This time is used to reach the welding temperature at the sheet ends.
After the ending of the heating-up, the tables drive apart, the heating element quickly slews out
of the machine and the tables drive together again, we call this change-over time.
The sheets are joined at the needed welding pressure and cool down under pressure
(cooling time).
The welding joint can be clamped out and the welding process is completed.

or strange object is within the clamping area.
4.3. Service unit
Activate valve by turning.
The service unit (LFR-1/8-D-MINI-KC) regulates the fed compressed air onto the adjusted
working pressure and compensates pressure fluctuations. It clears the compressed air from dirt
particles and condensation water. It is not intended for the use of other media (liquids or gases).
In order to adjust the regulator:
• slowly ventilate device.
• pull the pressure regulator button for the unlocking upwards (away from housing).
• Turn the pressure regulator button until the desired pressure is shown on the pressure gauge.
The input pressure must be at least 1 bar larger than the output pressure.
• Press the pressure regulator button downwards (towards the housing). Thereby, it is secured
against unintentional twisting.

4.4. How to clamp sheets or angle welding
You may weld an angle out of two plastic sheets on the WIDOS PSM 15.
The horizontal sheet of 10 up to 20 mm is clamped onto the left side
(chapter: 4.2).
The vertical sheet, from 5 mm thickness, is clamped onto the right side.
First clamp the right beam (without sheet) tightly onto the right attachment.
Put the vertical sheet onto the interior of the right clamping beam onto the ledge and fix sheet
e.g. with screw clamps.
Additionally fix the heating element in height
by a spacer.
The machine disposes of (optional) spacers
for a sheet thickness for the horizontal sheet
of 10 / 15 / 20 mm.
Please always align spacer and sheet
thickness in order that the vertical sheet is
only heated in the welding area.
Remove spacer after heating otherwise you
will not be able to turn the heating element
downwards.

5. Starting and operating
The instructions of this chapter are supposed to guide you in the operation of the machine and
lead you during the appropriate starting of the machine. This includes:
- the safe operation of the machine;
- using all the possible options of the machine;
- economic operation of the machine.
5.1. Starting
• Remove the packaging.
• Connect the heating element to the local mains supply (230 V / 50 Hz / 16 A).
• Connect one pneumatic hose to the local compressed air supply (6 – 8 bar) and to the
connector of the service unit (chapter: 4.3)
The machine only has to be introduced and used by skilled persons. For their
qualification they can pass an exam of plastic welding according to DVS and
DVG .
• In dangerous situations for man and machine you have to immediately disconnect the
machine from the mains plug.
• Having finished the welding work and during intervals you have to turn off the machine.
Furthermore you have to control that no unauthorized person can use the machine
• Protect machine against humidity!
• The use on building sites is only permitted when respecting VDE 0100 and using current
distribution with FI-safety-switch.
Carefully install electric cables (danger of stumbling)!
• Pay attention to environmental conditions:
− The welding process may not take place in case of direct insulation.
• If local temperature is under 5° C the following measures have to be taken:
− if necessary heat up sheet ends.
• Take measures against rain, wind and dust.

r e s p e c t e d ( IS O / C E N / D V S . .. ) .
• For the protection of being burnt wear safety gloves!
• You have to use a stop watch for taking the actual time of heating up and cooling down.
• You have to use a table where you can find the mandatory parameters to be used (time and
force) for the dimensions of the sheets to be welded.
• The surface of the heating element has to be clean, especially free of oil, and has to be
cleaned before every welding process resp. if it is dirty with non-fibering paper or cleaning
agent (e.g. PE - cleaner).
The ant-stick coating of the heating element has to be intact.
Upon cleaning the hot heating element with cleaning agents there is the danger of
inflammation, therefore make sure that the flash point is above the current heating
element temperature, do not bring any sources of fire (e.g. cigarettes) nearby.
• Swivel the heating element to the lower position, turn it on (chapter 0 No. 16) and adjust the
needed welding temperature at the adjusting screw (17) at the handle.
- hen the green control lamp is blinking (18), the desired temperature is reached and stays
stable with the help of a pulse-interval relation.
• The sheets have to be clean and free of oil in the welding area.
• Put the sheets under the clamping beams, adjust the sheets to each other and clamp the
sheets with the optional foot valve or the hand lever valve (chapter 4.2).
• Close machine by the hand wheel (chapter: 4, No. 12).
• Check sheet displacement and crack at the ends of the nudging sheets.
According to DVS 2207 the displacement of the tolerated crack may not be larger than 0,5
mm.
- The displacement compensation is realized by opening the clamping nuts and displacing
of the sheets. Afterwards refasten the clamping nuts.
- Take the adjusting force for the sheet dimensions to be welded out of the table.
• Heating up time, max. change-over time, cooling-down time and height of bead for the sheet
dimensions to be welded have to be taken out of the table.
• Drive the machine a little bit open.
• Slew in the cleaned heating element when it has reached the desired temperature. If
necessary wait until the green control lamp smoothly blinks.
• Drive the machine with identified adjusting force and hitchless together. The reached force
can be seen on the force range (4) of the slide of the left side.
Having reached the mandatory surrounding bead height reduce the force (heating up force =
