5. Preparation for welding

• Mount the handle (4) on the FUSION 1 (using locking nut 13) if required. Observe the maximum tightening
torque of 4 Nm.
• Prior to commissioning, check the power cord (6), the plug, and the extension cable for electrical and me-
chanical damage.
• The minimum cross-section must be observed if an extension cable is being used:
• Extension cables must be authorized for the utilization site (e.g., outdoors) and marked accordingly.
• When a power generator is used as an energy supply, the following applies for its nominal output: 2 x hand
extruder nominal output.
The FUSION 1 must not be used in areas with explosion and/or ignition
hazards. Ensure that you are in a stable position while working. The connection cable and
welding rod must be able to move freely and must not hinder the user or third parties while
working.

5.1 Welding rod

Use only a PE/PP welding rod with Ø 3 or Ø 4 mm for the FUSION 1.

5.2 Switching on

• Connect the FUSION 1 to the electrical line supply.
• Switch on the FUSION 1 using the hot-air blower switch (12).
• Use the air temperature (10) potentiometer to adjust the hot-air temperature. The set value appears on the
LCD display (11).
• After around 5 minutes, the operating temperature is reached and the LED (14) lights up.
Starting protection
The FUSION 1 is equipped with drive overload protection. If the speed becomes too low, the drive
switches off automatically. For example, the drive cannot be started or can only be started for a short time if
the material is insufficiently plasticized in the screw. Reheating then takes place for another 2 minutes.
A countdown counter appears on the status display area of the LCD display (11).
