8.5 Tool positioning
8.6 Welding procedure
• Swivel the
hot air blower (4)
up as far as the stop.
• Position the automatic welding machine on the overlap of the material to be welded. The outside edge of the
drive/pressure roller (2)
must line up with the overlap edge of the material to be welded.
• The
track guide roller (22)
must line up with the overlap edge of the material to be welded.
• Foiler ETL: Swivel the
hot-air blower (4)
down under as far as the stop; the
snap switch (21)
automatically
starts the motor drive (the welding process starts).
• Monitor the welding process. If necessary, adjust the welding speed with the
potentiometer (17).
Guide the
welding machine along the overlap with help from the
housing (7)
and the
track guide roller (22).
• When welding has finished, swing up the
hot-air blower (4)
as far as the stop.
Perform a test weld according to the welding instructions supplied by the material manufacturer and
conforming to national standards or guidelines. Check the test weld. Adapt the welding temperature
(welding parameters) as necessary.
8.7 Switching off
• Turn the
potentiometer (24)
to position 0 in order to cool down the
hot-air blower (4).
When the tool has cooled
down (after approx. 6 minutes), set the
hot-air blower switch (9)
to 0.
• Then disconnect the
power supply cord (1)
from the electricity supply.
• Wait for the device to cool down.
• Check the
power supply cord (1)
and plug for electrical and/or mechanical damage.
• Clean the
welding nozzle (3)
with a wire brush.

8.4 Welding parameters
• Set the
potentiometer for the welding speed (17)
to the required value.
• Set the
air-blower switch (9)
to position I. Adjust the temperature as required with the
potentiometer (24) .
The
heat-up period is approx. 5 minutes.
• The contact pressure is affected by the weight of the automatic hot-air welding machine itself.
• Use the additional weight accessory as required (optional).
