Extension cables
• Ensure the minimum cross-section when using extension
cables:
• The extension cable must be approved for the site of use (e.g.
in the open air) and marked correspondingly.
• When using a power unit for power supply, its nominal power
rating is: 2 × nominal power rating of the extrusion welder.
Starting the device
Safety precautions
Health risk
When welding PVC materials, hydrogen chloride is harmful to health and hydrogen fluoride vapors are
produced in fluorinated materials. The manual extrusion welder should be used only in well-ventilated
indoor areas.
Risk of burning
Do not touch exposed metal parts or escaping plastic material while they are hot. The device should
always first be allowed to cool down. Do not point the hot air flow and escaping plastic material at
people or animals.
Danger of fire and explosion
Never use the hot-air welder in explosive or readily inflammable surroundings. Maintain sufficient distance
from combustible materials or explosive gases at all times.
Read the material safety data sheet from the manufacturer of the material and follow that company's
instructions. Be careful not to burn the material during the welding process.
Only use the device on fireproof surfaces.
In addition, comply with national statutory requirements regarding occupational safety (securing personnel
and electrical devices).
Power cord and extension cable
• The local supply voltage must match the nominal voltage specified on the device. The main
switch must be switched off in the event of a mains voltage failure.
• The power cord must be able to move freely and must not hinder the user or third parties
during work (trip hazard).
• The extension cables must be authorized for the utilization site (e.g., outdoors) and be marked
accordingly.
