ADVICE & CHARACTERISTICS OF PLASTICS
•
It is essential to weld similar plastics. (PP, PP EPDM, ABS...) The versatility of PP and PP EPDM plastics also allows them to be
used on PE plastic.
•
The welding speed is controlled by the thickness of the materials (support and filler rods) and the temperature set.
•
For a good fusion the support and the rod must be in the same state (pasty) at the time of welding.
•
A successful weld has a slight flat and regular bead on both sides along its length.
Plastic recognition
The following experiment allows experienced welders to identify most plastics by their surface hardness. For others, and in the
absence of a code engraved on the element, there is a safe and simple method of identification known as a «flame test». Light a chip
of the material in question using a match or lighter, observe the flame and smell the smoke.

PRECAUTIONS
Nozzle fitting
Do not press the nozzle and do not pull the edge of the nozzle with pliers. Do not overtighten the screw as this may deform the nozzle.
Thermal protector :
For safety reasons, the power supply is automatically switched off if the unit exceeds a certain temperature.
Once the temperature has dropped to a safe level, the power supply automatically resumes.
Turn off the switch and cool the gun down. Then reduce the temperature setting or increase the air flow rate.
Caution - high temperature operation :
Do not use the appliance near gas, paper or other flammable materials.
• The air coming out of the gun is extremely hot, and can cause painful burns.
• Do not touch the heating pipe and do not allow the heated air to blow against the skin.
• Never drop or shake the unit abruptly.
• Warning ! The pipe contains quartz glass that can break if the device falls or is shaken violently.
• Do not disassemble the pump

Black smoke, pungent odour, self-extinguishing
"No smoke, the material drips as it burns like
a candle and diffuses a waxy smell"
No smoke, stretchable into filaments, smells like burnt
horn.
Yellowish smoke with soot production, sweet smell.
Blackish smoke with soot flakes, sweet smell.
