Before initiating work on the roof, we highly recommend that you complete a few test welds to ensure that the tool is functioning properly.
CAUTION
Do not touch welded plate until a magnetic cooling clamp has been applied to the welded plate and allowed to cool down for at least 5 minutes after the weld cycle.
Welded plates are very hot and touching them can result in severe burns.
100% bond
To check the quality of the calibration, place three (3) plates on insulation about 10-inches (25 cm) apart. Cover the plates
with a piece of membrane from the project, weld each plate, and apply a magnetic heat sink to each.
Allow plates to cool to the touch (approx 5 minutes) -- before removing the magnetic heat sinks. Turn the membrane over to
reveal the welded plates, and use pliers to peel each plate off to confirm the quality of the welds.
The image to the left shows a 100% bond. If you do not get a 100% bond, use the OptiWeld
Adjustment feature to adjust the target Energy Setting to optimize the weld.
See 'Manual Calibration' information on Page 11 for details.
