Use the following calibration process to adjust the
energy setting
for each tool
to the appropriate
level for the conditions on the job.
Place 3 plates on a sample of your insulation, 10
inches (250mm) apart. Lay a sample of your mem-
brane over the plates. Be sure membrane is clean
and dry.

S ETTING
Set the Energy Setting Dial to the (-3) position.
Align tool over plate and move forward until you feel
the plate engage the recessed bottom of the tool.
The bottom of the tool must remain flat against the
membrane. Use caution not to push the tool too far
forward, which can result in a poor quality weld due
to the bottom of the tool lifting off of the membrane.
To activate, press and release the weld button on
the top of the tool. Note: the handle is designed to
vibrate during the welding cycle.
WARNING
Hold hand welder tool flat against the
membrane and firmly in place. DO NOT
move tool until weld cycle is complete and
the handle stops vibrating.
Once the weld cycle is complete, the handle will
stop vibrating. Remove the RhinoBond Hand Welder
and immediately set a magnetic heat sink directly
onto the center of the welded plate.

Next, increase the energy setting to (0) and perform a
weld on the next plate and cover with magnetic heat
sink. Finally, increase the energy setting to (+3) and
repeat process on the last plate.
After the plates have cooled,
remove the magnetic
heat sinks and turn membrane over to reveal the
welded plates.
Use pliers to peel each plate off of the membrane.
See Bond Results on page 6.
CALIBRATION TIPS
If you do not get a 100% weld during
calibration, check the power at the female end
of the cord and determine what else is running
on the same circuit.
Power output may be diminished if:
• The cord is too long.
• The power source is
overloaded.
TIP
Cord length must not exceed 100-ft. (30 m)
STEP 4
BOND THE MEMBRANE
Set tool to Energy Setting that provided a
100% bond.
Several settings may yield a 100% bond. If this happens,
select the energy level setting in the middle.
Center the calibrated Handheld tool over the first plate.
Activate the weld. Press and release the weld button.
Immediately place magnetic heat sink over the
welded plate.
