Welding process

Before the wedge welder is used, test welds are to be carried out in accordance with the
welding instructions of the material manufacturer and with national standards or guidelines.
The test welds must be checked.
• The wedge welder temperature must be achieved.
• Insert wedge welder in overlapping plastic sheets.
• Use the "Drive On/Off" button
• Insert wedge welder in overlapping plastic sheets
• Close the clamping lever (7) by pressing the locking clamping lever (10) while at the same time using the
other hand to accomplish this by holding the automatic welding machine fi rmly by the handle (11). Welding
wedge is placed in the correct position automatically.
• Check the position, alignment and welding parameters continuously.
• Use handle (11) to guide the automatic welder along the overlap.
• If necessary, brief pressure and subsequent rotation of the "e-Drive"
ing speed during operation (see Chapter "Speed and temperature setting during welding").
• Release the clamping arm (4) by pressing the locking clamping lever (10) and actuating the clamping lever
(7) 1 cm before the end of the welding seam and use your other hand to accomplish this by holding the automatic
welding machine fi rmly by the handle (11). The wedge welder can now be removed.
