3. Start-up
General:
Observe the notes on safety contained in these operating instructions. In addition, the
regulations on the prevention of accidents and the national regulations shall apply.
Assembling the hand-held welding and extruding machine
When dispatched, our hand-held welding and extruding machines are almost completely
assembled.
What remains to be done is to screw the enclosed handle to the machine.
For machines with external air supply the air supply hose must be connected.
Ensure sufficient supply with air which is free of oil and water (min. 300 l/min).
We recommend our air compressor, item no. DX 011.
Connect extruder with control box.
Weld shoe
The machine is supplied with two weld shoes blank which can be machined to suit your
requirements.
Note: please observe guideline DVS 2207 part 4.
If you indicate your required form of seam and thickness of plates we will supply two weld
shoes machined ready for use.
Start-up of hand-held welding and extruding machine
Observe the section concerning safety of these operating instructions.
Hand-held welding and extruding machines may not be used without air supply. This would
inevitably result in damages of the extruder.
Before connecting the extruder to the mains supply please check that
-
the On/Off switch of the heating unit is in OFF position
- air supply is connected correctly
- the driving machine has not been put to permanent operation
- now switch on air supply
-
and put plug into socket.
All our hand-held welding and extruding machines are provided with patented mass
measurement (the thermoelement is installed directly in the melting unit, between
worm and die) and with cold start protection.
Now put the On/Off switch of the heating unit into ON position. The machine will heat up to
the last selected temperature value. For information on how to modify the desired
temperature value please refer to the section on the adjustment of the controlling unit.
