Tool Set Up
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM ACCIDENTAL OPERATION:
Make sure that the Trigger is in the off-position and unplug the tool from its
electrical outlet before performing any procedure in this section.
1� Determine if the finished product you are
welding is in need of a beveled edge� If so,
use a grinder or table saw (not included)
to bevel any edges to a 60° angle�
2� All materials to be welded must be cleaned of
any dirt, dust, or debris� If any oil substance
remains on the material, use Methyl Ethyl Ketone 9
(MEK) (not included) to clean the material�
NOTE: Make sure to read and understand
all instructions and precautions as
outlined by the MEK manufacturer�
3� The heat generated by the Plastic Welding Kit
can cause serious burns� Observe all Safety
Warnings and Precautions� Inspect the Plastic
Welder for signs of damage prior to each use�
4� Screw on the correct welding Nozzle�
NOTE: When welding two plastic sheets together
at 90°, use Nozzle #(1) for the tack weld first� Then
use Nozzle #(21) or #(22) for the line weld�
5� Set the Potentiometer (20) at “0”� Then
plug the Power Cord (19) into a 120
volt, grounded, electrical outlet�
6� Turn on the Power Switch (14)� Adjust the
Potentiometer (20) to reach the desired temperature
(see Figure A)� Allow the Plastic Welder to warm
up for several minutes before starting to weld�

Workpiece and Work Area Set Up
1� Designate a work area that is clean and well lit�
The work area must not allow access by children
or pets to prevent distraction and injury�
2� Route the power cord along a safe route to reach
the work area without creating a tripping hazard or
exposing the power cord to possible damage� The
power cord must reach the work area with enough
extra length to allow free movement while working�
3� Secure loose workpieces using a vise or clamps
(not included) to prevent movement while working�
4� There must not be objects, such as utility lines,
nearby that will present a hazard while working�
