WeldTech - MiniPlast Instruction Manual 2. Safety Rules The base for the safe handling and the fault-free operation of this machine is the knowledge of the basic safety indications and rules. • These working instructions contain the most important indications to run the machine safely. • The safety indications are to be followed by all persons working on the machine. 2.1.
WeldTech - MiniPlast Instruction Manual 2.4. Measures of Organisation • All equipment required for personal safety is to be provided by the owner. • All available safety equipment is to be inspected regularly. • The working instructions have to be permanently kept at the place of use of the machine. They are to be at the operator‘s disposal at any time and without much effort.
WeldTech - MiniPlast Instruction Manual 2.9. Dangers caused by Electric Energy Only skilled persons are allowed to work at electrical appliances. • The electrical equipment of the machine has to be checked regularly. Loose connections and damaged cables have to be replaced immediately. • The heating element has to be protected from rain and dropping water, if need be use a welding tent. • According to VDE 0100, the use on construction sites is only allowed with a power distributor with a FI-safety switch.
WeldTech - MiniPlast Instruction Manual 2.11. Warranty and Liability Fundamentally our “General Sales and Delivery Conditions” are valid. They are at the owner’s disposal latest when signing the contract. Guarantee and liability demands referring to personal injuries or damages on objects are excluded if they are caused by one or several of the following reasons: • Not using the machine according to the prescriptions. • Inexpert transport, mounting, starting , operating and maintenance of the machine.
WeldTech - MiniPlast Instruction Manual 3. Functional Description Basically the international and national guidelines are to be followed. The plastic pipes are clamped by means of the clamping devices. Then the front sides of the pipes are cut plane and parallel by means of the planer and the misalignment of the pipes is checked. The heating element is inserted and the pipes are pressed against the heating element under defined adjusting pressure. This process is called “adjusting”.

WeldTech - MiniPlast Instruction Manual 5. Starting and Operating The instructions of this chapter are supposed to initiate in the operation of the machine and lead during the appropriate starting of the machine. This includes • The safe operation of the machine • Using all the possible options of the machine • Economic operation of the machine 5.1. Starting The machine may only be operated by initiated and authorized persons.
WeldTech - MiniPlast Instruction Manual 5.1.1 Exchanging the Reduction Inserts • Unscrew the mounted reduction inserts by means of the provided Allan key. • Screw the reduction inserts with the corresponding diameter into the clamping devices. • When welding bends, the angle can be set on the basic clamping devices (on each side between -15° to +15°). • If necessary (e.g. for T-pieces) a special basic clamping device can be provided by means of which very short sections can be clamped.
WeldTech - MiniPlast Instruction Manual • Switch on heating element and set the required welding temperature (standard value PE-HD: 210° C) on the adjustment screw on the handle. • As soon as the control light blinks, the nominal temperature has been reached and is maintained at a constant level by a pulse-position ratio. • Screw in reduction inserts according to the outer diameter of the pipes to be welded, if necessary set the angle.
WeldTech - MiniPlast Instruction Manual • Move the heating element which has been cleaned and brought to desired temperature between the pipes with the handle facing downwards (hang into guide bar). • Close the slide smoothly with the determined adjustment force. The applied force can be read at the force scale on the hand wheel. When the prescribed revolving bead height is reached, reduce the force (Heating force = approx. 10 % of the adjustment force). • The heating time starts now.

WeldTech - MiniPlast Instruction Manual 7. Maintenance and Repair 7.1. General I Replace damaged parts immediately, be particularly care full with electrical parts. Dirt and wetness are very good current conductors. Prescribed maintenance and inspection works should be performed in time. The DVS gives the advice of inspection works after 1 year. For machines with a specially high usage percentage the testing cycle should be shortened .
WeldTech - MiniPlast Instruction Manual 8. Transport • Protect the machine from heavy chocs. • Handle the machine carefully. • Make sure that the case is closed correctly. The machine is transported in a sheet steel carrying case. Gibs for the box of the reduction inserts Placing the single elements in the steel sheet carrying case: • There is a rectangular shape inside of the box, in which the planer is inserted. • Put in the table support and the basic machine next to it (see picture).
