The fusion process

8.2.1

Calculating drag pressure

Danger of injury due to high pressure oil leakages!
Inspect the outside wall of hydraulic hoses under pressure: make sure you wear safety
glasses before doing it!
 Do not touch leaking oil with hands! Escaping high pressure oil can cause skin
penetration injuries!
Release the oil pressure to zero before replacing defective hoses.
Danger of crushing hands!
The machine slide moves!
Danger of injury to hands in the moving machine slide!
Do not reach inside the machine when moving to the end positions.
The machine drag pressure must be calculated before each new fusion!
1. Open the machine to the end position by moving the control lever (2) into open
direction "<>".
2. Reduce pressure with the fine-adjustment pressure valve (3) -turn counter-
clockwise.
3. Increase pressure with the fine-adjustment pressure valve while simultaneously
pulling the control lever in the "close ><" direction (turn clockwise).
4. As soon as the movement of the carriage is even, stop increasing the pressure and
read the pressure value on the gauge before the pipe ends are in contact.
8.2.2

Preparing the fusion surfaces

Danger of cutting hands!
Sharp planer blades!
Danger of injury to hands if the planer disk is touched.
 Do not touch the rotating planer disk.
 Snap in the safety lock.
1. Open the machine to the end position by moving the control lever into open
direction "<>". Check that the distance between the pipe ends is at least as wide as
the width of the planer.
2. Insert the planer to the base machine with care . Safety mechanism locks
automatically. This prevents the planer unit from jumping out of the machine
during planing.
3. Check that the signal lamp is ON, this indicates that the planer is inserted correctly.
