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.

5.2. Welding Process
The respectively valid welding prescriptions (ISO / CEN / DVS ...) are to be basically followed.
• Do wear safety gloves as protection against burning.
• A stop-watch must be available for recording the actual times for heating up and cooling.
• A welding table must be available from which the parameters for the pipe dimensions to be
welded prescribed by the welding prescriptions may be taken.
• The heating element surfaces must be clean and especially non greasy. Therefore they need to
be cleaned shortly before each welding or in case of dirtiness by means of a fibre-free paper and
a cleaning agent (e.g. PE cleaner or pipe cleaning tissues which are available at the SIMTECH
company). The anti-adhesive coating of the heating element must remain undamaged in the
working area.
