WELDING LEISTER Uniplan Wedge
Weld preparation
• Spread the weld material on a clean and level surface.
• The material to be welded must be dry and clean between the overlaps.
• The overlap width should be set as follows:
– Heating wedge 20 mm = overlap width 23 mm
– Heating wedge 30 mm = overlap width 31 mm
• The material must be stretched out tightly and fixed
.
Preparing for use
• Hook extra weight (3) onto base plate (4).
• Swing hot wedge (6) upwards using swivel lever (19) and engage, (Fig. A).
• Set guide roller (25) to position "Inaktiv" (inactive) by means of guide roller
knob (24) and guide roller lever (23) , (Fig. B).
• Operate lifting device (12) by means of lifting device lever (18) so that
drive/pressure roller (8) and drive roller (10) are at no-load, (Fig. C).
• Raise pinch roller (9) , (Fig. D).
• Drive/pressure roller (8) should be positioned parallel to the edge of guide
roller (25). See Page 5 for drive/pressure roller (8) track correction.
• Connect tool to mains. Mains voltage must correspond with tool voltage.
• Switch tool on using
main switch (16).
• The upper and lower surfaces of the hot wedge (6)
must be cleaned after each weld run, using a fine
