OPERATING
Leister WELDPLAST S4 / EC4 hand extruder
5
Working environment / safety
In the case of interruptions to welding
work, the drive motor can be swit-
ched off with the
motor on/off switch
(2).
Place the hand extruder with the
handle appropriately positioned and
tightened on a stable fireproof sur-
face as illustrated.
The hand extruder must not be used in inflammable environments or where
explosion hazards exist. Ensure stable positioning during operation. The
connection cable and the welding rod must remain unimpeded and must
not hinder the user or others during operation.
Rest the hand extruder on a fireproof surface! Hot metal parts and the hot-air
jet must have sufficient clearance from the surface and walls.
Adjusting the handle
The clamp is loosened by turning the plastic handle
counter-clockwise and the handle can be positio-
ned in the ideal working position by sliding back or
forwards. The handle can also be rotated for
left/right handed users (see also Welding direction
left/right)
Workstation
For starting operation of the hand extruder and setting
it down, Leister offers a comfortable
universal tool
stand
with integrated hot-air hood and welding rod
dereeler holder (see Accessories).
