1.PRIOR TO OPERATION
1.1. Power source.
Ensure that the power source to be utilized
conforms to the power requirements spec-
ied on the product nameplate.
1.2. «On\Off» switch.
Ensure that the power switch is in the OFF
position. If
the plug is connected to a receptacle while
the power switch is in the ON position, the
power tool will start operating immediate-
ly, inviting serious accident.
1.3. Extension cord.
When the work area is removed from the
power source use an extension cord of suf-
cient thickness and rated capacity. The
extension cord should be kept as short as
practicable.
2. HOW TO USE\
2.1. Connecting to mains
Pipe welding machine must be connected
to the earthed receptacle with a protective
conductor.
2.2. Choice of heating sockets
The choice of heating sockets for heating
element is made based on size of pipes to
be welded.
They are installed on heating element by
allen wrench from standard set.
Depending on requirements and machine
model several heating sockets can be in-
stalled on heating element.
2.3. Operating temperature control
To provide operating temperature stabil-
ity, heating element of the machine is
equipped with stepped temperature con-
trol. Operating temperature is xed to 260
± 10°C.
Follow pipes, ttings manufactures’ in-
structions!
Before operation check temperature on
working surfaces of heating sockets in-
stalled on the heating element.
2.4. Warm-up
Manufacturer sets operating temperature
of pipe welding machines to 260°С. De-
pending on pipe material, necessity to
change this value may occur. Before op-
eration familiarize yourself with informa-
tion from pipes and formed parts manu-
facturer!
It is recommended to control temperature
of heating sockets of the heating element
(heating ttings), for example with the
help of surface thermometer. If necessary,
temperature can be adjusted by turning the
temperature control. When adjusting tem-
perature remember that heating element is
ready for operation only after 10 minutes
after reaching the set temperature.

3. WELDING PLASTIC PIPES
3.1. Technology description
When performing sleeve welding with
the help of heating sockets on the heating
element, pipe joint and proled part are
lapped. Pipe end and sleeve of the pro-
led part are heated with the help of heat-
ing spigots and sockets, installed on the
heating element, and then joined. There
are two methods of sleeve welding with
different sizes of the spigot and sockets.
Method A does not include mechanical
tooling of pipes, method B includes me-
chanical tooling – centreless grinding.
Heating spigots and sockets ZENIT are
intended for method A welding only.
Sleeve welding with the help of heating
sockets can be performed on pipes with
diameter up to 63 mm.
When working with pipes of bigger diam-
eter it is recommended to use an appropri-
ate welding machine.
3.2. Prior to welding
Follow recommendations of the pipe man-
ufacturer and proled part manufacturer!
End of the pipe must be cut square and
evenly. These parameters are achieved
by using pipe shears. Besides, end of the
pipe must be beveled for easy joint. Right
before welding pipe end and internal sur-
face of the sleeve of the proled part and
heating spigot and socket, if necessary,
are cleaned with a piece of paper, leav-
ing no paper dust or a napkin leaving no
laments, moistened with gasoline or
commercial alcohol. Make sure plastic
remainders don’t stick to the surface of
the heating socket. When cleaning heat-
ing sockets make sure not to damage spe-
cial teon coating. Do not touch surfaces
treated in this way before welding.
3.3. Welding technology
3.3.1. Heating of pipes and proled
parts
To heat the pipe and proled part quickly
insert them on heating spigots, xed on
the heating element of the machine, to the
end position or to the marking, and keep
for time required (see welding table).
It is recommended to follow instructions
of the pipe manufacturer.
When heating, the heat gets inside the sur-
faces to be welded and Во время разогрева
тепло проникает в подлежащие
спаиванию поверхности соединений,
доводя их до нужной температуры.
3.3.2. Welding and xing
After heating remove the pipe and pro-
led part from the spigots of the heating
element and push them inside one another
without turning. Fix (hold) them for a pe-
riod of time, recommended by the plastic
pipe manufacturer (see welding table).
Time between removing from the heat-
ing element and welding must not exceed
time, recommended by the pipe manufac-
turer (see welding table). Otherwise weld-
ing surfaces will not be heated enough for
quality welding.
3.3.3. Cooling
Load on joints must be applied only after
estimated cooling time (indicated by the
plastic pipe manufacturer), (see welding
table).
4. MAINTENANCE
ATTENTION! Before maintenance and
repair disconnect the tool from the power
source and let it cool! These operations
must be performed by qualied specialists
only.
Before every welding clean the teon coat-
ing of the heating element spigots with a

8
piece of paper, leaving no paper dust or
a napkin leaving no laments, moistened
with gasoline or commercial alcohol.
Make sure plastic remainders don’t stick
to the surface of the heating socket. When
cleaning heating sockets make sure not to
damage special teon coating.
NEVER! Clean the heating spigots with
metal tools, sand paper and abrasive
pastes. After operation switch off the tool,
disconnect the plug from the receptacle
and let the welding machine cool. After
cooling take the machine from the stand
and put into the case.
5.TROUBLESHOOTING
5.1. Welding machine does not heat:
Reason:
• machine is not connected to the
mains
