• 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. Press the stop-watch and compare the actual time with the
nominal time taken from the table.
• After expiration of the heating time, open the slide, remove the heating element as quickly as
possible, put it into the heat protection box and close the slide smoothly. The maximum time
frame for this process is predetermined by the value for the change over time taken from the
table.
• Press the stop-watch when the welding pressure is built up.
If necessary, readjust the force during cooling (the force for cooling is the same as the adjustment
pressure).
• After expiration of the cooling time, release the force, remove the welded parts and open the
slide.
