h) Only allow trained personnel to use the power tool.
Apprentices may only operate the power tool when
they are over 16, when this is necessary for their
training and when they are supervised by a trained
operative.
D) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn
it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preventive safety meas-
ures reduce the risk of starting the power tool ac-
cidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tools op-
eration. If damaged, have the power tool repaired by
a qualifi ed expert or by an authorised after-sales ser-
vice facility before use. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Secure the workpiece. Use clamps or a vice to hold
the workpiece. This is safer than holding it with your
hand, and also it frees both hands to operate the
equipment.
h) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in
accordance with these instructions and in the man-
ner intended for the particular type of power tool,
taking into account the working conditions and the
work to be performed. Use of the power tool for op-
erations different from those intended could result in
a hazardous situation. All unauthorised modifi cations
to the power tool are prohibited for safety reasons.
E) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualifi ed repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is main-
tained.
b) Comply with maintenance instructions and instruc-
tions on tool replacements.
c) Check mains lead of power tool regularly and have
it replaced by a qualifi ed expert or an authorised
after-sales service facility in case of damage. Check
extension cable regularly and replace it when dam-
aged.
SPECIFIC SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING
● Since the heating element reaches working tempera-
tures of up to 300°C, do not touch the heating ele-
ment or steel components between the heating ele-
ment and the plastic handle, once the unit has been
plugged in. Also, do not touch the welded seam on
the plastic pipe or any part of the pipe near welded
seam on the plastic pipe or any part of the pipe near
the seam during and after welding. After the unit has
been unplugged, it will take a certain time to cool
down. Do not accelerate the cooling process by im-
mersing the unit in liquid, otherwise it will be dam-
aged.
● When setting the unit aside when hot, take care to
ensure that the heating element does not come into
contact with combustible material.
● Place the unit down only on its supporting stand, in
the bench support or on a fi re-retardant base.
● Heating spigots and heating sockets shall only be
changed when cold.
Use for the intended purpose
WARNING
Use heating element muff welding equipment for weld-
ing plastic pipes
and mouldings of PB, PE, PP and PVDF.
All other uses are not for the intended purpose and are
prohibited.
2. PREPARATIONS FOR USE
2.1. Electrical connection
WARNING
The sleeve welding unit must be connected to a sock-
et with protective earthing (earth conductor). Note the
mains voltage! Before connecting the unit, check to
ensure that the voltage given on the rating plate corre-
sponds to the mains voltage.
CAUTION
When the unit is hot, hold it only by the handle (3).
Do not touch the heating element (4), the welding
tools (5) or the metal parts between the handle (3)
and heating element (4), otherwise a burn injury may
result.
2.2. Selection of welding tools
Select welding tools (5), heating spigot and heating
socket, according to the pipe size. The tools are mount-
ed on the heating element (4) with the allen key sup-
plied. Two welding tools can be mounted on the heating
element at the same time.
