Operation
Welding the pipes or fittings
Connect the mains plug to the power supply system.
1
Wait until the welding temperature has been reached.

Welding plate KSS 160 or KSS 200:
The red signal lamp lights up during the heat-up
phase. The green signal lamp lights up when the
welding temperature has been reached.
It takes around 8–10 minutes to reach the welding
temperature.
Welding plate KSS 315:
The heat-up phase is monitored by a built-in
temperature regulator. It takes around 20 minutes to
reach the welding temperature.
Swivel the welding plate with the welding plate
3
support between the parts to be welded.

Turn the hand wheel to the right to lightly press the
4
pipes onto the welding plate on both sides: The cut
surfaces start to melt.
Observe the melting process closely: Remove the
5
welding plate as soon as the welding bead is about
half the size of the wall thickness of the pipe.
A certain amount of pressure must be exerted for
welding. The required contact pressure is reached
when the corresponding pipe diameter can be read
on the pressure scale.
Carefully press together the parts to be welded with
6
the hand wheel until the pressure reaches the
required level on the pressure scale. Maintain this
pressure by tightening the locking handle until the
weld seam has cooled down.
Loosen the locking handle once the weld seam has
7
cooled down.
Remove the eccentric levers, fold up the tension
8
devices and take out the welded pipes or fittings.
