Unpacking 

 
Before opening the shipping/storage case for the first time and unpacking the welder, 
inspect the outside of the case thoroughly for any signs of mishandling or damage during 
shipping.  Report any damage to the shipping carrier immediately and 

do not proceed with 

unpacking

.  You should consult your administration concerning claims for shipping 

damage.  Please notify DEMTECH Services, Inc. or your authorized DEMTECH 
distributor where the product was purchased in the event of any shipping damage. 
 
Unlatch and open the shipping/storage case lid and inspect inside the case and equipment 
thoroughly for any signs of mishandling or damage during shipping.  Report any damage 
to the shipping carrier immediately and 

do not proceed with unpacking

.  You should 

consult your administration concerning claims for shipping damage.  Please notify 
DEMTECH Services, Inc. or your authorized DEMTECH distributor where the product 
was purchased in the event of any shipping damage. 
 
The Pro-Wedge hot wedge welder is delivered to you in a sturdy, reusable 
shipping/storage case.  The custom foam insert protects the unit from damage during 
shipping and should be stored in the case at all times when not in use.  When the unit 
is out of the case, make sure the lid is closed to avoid dirt, dust and rain from getting 
inside.  Once the Pro-Wedge has been removed from the case, it is ready for use except 
for any necessary set-up adjustments.  For set-up procedure, refer to the set-up adjustment 
section in this manual. 
 
Make note of the orientation of the equipment and packing foam inserts inside the shipping 
case to facilitate any repackaging requirements in the future.  To avoid injury and/or 
damage to the welder, be sure to use adequate care when lifting, removing or replacing the 
welder into the shipping/storage case.  The welder must be removed from the 
shipping/storage case and placed in an appropriate location suitable for the welding you 
intend to perform. 
 

6.2

 

Electrical Plug Connection 

 
The Pro-Wedge is supplied with an appropriate U.S. plug-end according to the specified 
operating voltage of the welder.  The supplied plug-end can be replaced by the customer 
as long as the new one is rated at a minimum of 20 amps.
