3.2.1
Putting into operation
Please read through the operating instructions and safety instructions
attentively before you put the butt fusion welding machine into operation!
Do not use the heating element in explosive environments or bring it into
contact with easily flammable materials.
Stay a safe distance away from the machine. Do not stand or reach into the
machine. Keep other people away from the work area.
Either fasten the basic unit on a workbench by using the included screws or fasten it by using
an existing vice.
Fasten the table clamp on the workbench and put the heating element in it.
Connect power plug to the power supply stated on the type plate.
Switch on the heating element (Swich shows green light when activated) and adjust the
temperature by using a screwdriver.
The heating period is indicated by yellow control light. When reaching the adjusted
Temperature the yellow light flashes. After another 10 minutes the heating element is ready
for operation. The temperature must be checked occasionally with a thermometer.
Very hot – Do not touch! The heating element can reach a temperature of
approx. 280°C!

Measures for preparing welding
For Pipe-to-Pipe welding the two wide main clamps are remaining in the machine.
For Pip-to-Fitting welding the left hand side wide main clamp has to be changed against small
Fitting main clamp.
For Fitting-to-Fitting welding both wide main clamps have to be changed against small fitting
main clamps.
The right hand side small fitting main clamp is available as an option (art. No. 5.5809).
Loosen winged handle at main clamp set and swivel away to the front. Then move upper
main clamps up and backwards.
For pipes which are smaller than the maximum diameter of 110 mm insert reduction
clamping inserts and fix them by using the knurled screw.
Insert the plastic pipes or fittings to be welded into the clamps. Close upper clamps swivel in
winged handle, align pipe or fitting and screw up the winged handle tightly.
Check whether the workpieces are tight in the clamping tool by moving the workpieces
together.
Also check whether the heating element has reached operating temperature. Heating is
ended when the yellow pilot lamp on the temperature regulator flashes.
To guarantee even distribution of heat over the entire surface of the heating plate,
it is required to wait a period of approx. 10 minutes after the lamp flashes
(according to DVS). You must check the temperature with an appropriate
temperature measurement device!
Place the trimmer between the pipe sections to be welded and fix it by the swivel.
With the hand wheel move the pipe ends carefully against the trimmer blades of the trimmer
discs and turn the trimmer around by moving the handle up and down.
Pipes and fittings can be machined on one side only by turning the block screws on the front
bottom side of the machine towards the side, which is not to be machined.
