NOTE:
Once temperatures have been adjusted to desired settings, allow 5 minutes for barrel

FEEDING WELDING ROD
Start drive motor by pulling trigger switch and lock in the “on” position by depressing lock button and
then releasing trigger. Molten extrudate may or may not begin to exit Teflon welding shoe depending on
how well the unit was purged after its last use.
While drive motor is on insert 4 or 5mm welding rod into the rod feed hole located on barrel near
adjustable handle mount. Apply inward pressure until rod begins to feed without assistance. Molten
material (extrudate) will begin to extrude from end of Teflon welding shoe. Upon initial start-up, allow
extrudate to flow for 5 to 10 seconds, purging any residual material from previous use, then turn drive
motor off by pulling and releasing trigger.
You may now proceed with welding operations.
