of erosion or damage, otherwise hydraulic system may lose pressure.
•
Trimmer unit, heating plate, hydraulic unit may only be supplied with the voltage specified on the
type plates.
•
To achieve perfect welding results, it is essential to keep the heating plate clean. If the surface is
damaged or shows signs of erosion, the surface must be recoated or replaced. Material residues
on the heating plate surface reduces the non-sticking properties of the coating. Remove all
residues with non-lining paper and alcohol (heating plate must be cool!).
•
Before every start-up, check the oil level of the hydraulic unit (oil level should lie between full and
empty marks). Replenish hydraulic oil whenever necessary (HLP – 46).
• Change hydraulic oil ( Type HLP – 46) every six months.
•
To avoid malfunctions, regularly check the hydraulic unit for leaks, proper fit of connections as
well as the power cable for signs of damage or wear.
•
Protect the fast-on couplings on both the hydraulic unit as well as the hydraulic hoses from dirt
and grime. Remove any dirt or foreign objects prior to connecting.
•
The trimmer unit is equipped with two bi-directional blades. Rotate or replace blades
whenever trimming performance is no longer up to expectations.
•
Always ensure that the pipe and workpiece ends, in particular the butt surfaces are clean.
Dirt or other foreign substances will shorten the serviceable life of the blades considerably
Pursuant to welding guidelines the welding machine must be inspected annually by
the manufacturer or an authorised service workshop. Machines subjected to above
average use or strain should be inspected at shorter intervals.

4.1. Machine and tool care

(Follow the maintenance instructions in item 4!)
Sharp and clean tools produce better work results and are safer. Replace blunt, broken or lost parts
immediately. Check whether the accessories are securely connected to the machine. Use only original
spare parts from the manufacturer for maintenance work. Repairs must be carried out only by
professionally qualifi ed personnel. Disconnect the machine from the mains when it is not in use, prior
to care and maintenance work and before changing accessory parts. Prior to reconnection to the
mains, it must be ensured that the machine and the accessory tools are switched off. When extension
cables are used, they must be checked for their safety and operativeness. Only cables approved for
outdoor use must be used. Tools and machines whose housing or handles, especially those made of
plastic, are cracked or warped must not be used. Dirt and moisture in such cracks conduct electric
current. This can lead to an electric shock if the insulation is damaged in the tools or in the machine.
Note: Furthermore, we refer to the accident prevention regulations.

5. Disposal

Components of the unit are recyclable material and should be put to recycling. For this purpose
registered and certified recycling companies are available. For an environmental friendly disposal of
the non-recyclable parts (e.g. electronic waste) please contact your local waste disposal authority.
For EU countries only:
Do not dispose of electric tools with domestic waste. In accordance with European
Directive 2002/96/EC on waste electrical and electronic equipment and its
