Danger! Unplug the tool before opening it as live com-

ponents and connections are exposed.

Incorrect use of the hot wedge tool can present a fire

and explosion hazard especially near combustible

materials and explosive gases.

Do not touch the element housing and wedge when

hot as they can cause burns. Allow the tool to cool

down. Do not point the hot air flow in the direction of

people or animals.

WARNING

The tool must be operated under supervision. Radiant

heat from the hot wedge can ignite flammable

materials.

For personal protection, we strongly recommend the

tool be connected to an RCCB (Residual Current Circuit

Breaker) before using it on construction sites.

The voltage rating stated on the tool should correspond

to the mains voltage.

Protect the tool from damp and wet.

CAUTION

Connect the tool to a socket outlet with protective

earth conductor. Any interruption of the protective

earth conductor within or outside the tool is danger-

ous! Use only extensions cables with a protective

earth conductor!

•Welding pressure → infinitely variable (steplessly adjustable). The welding

pressure is transmitted via a toggle lever to the pressure rollers. The swivel

head guarantees the equalization of the pressure to both welded sections

(C and D) as well as on a welded seam without test channel.

This allows T-joints to be welded easily. During the welding process the

pressure adjusts itself linearly to the change in material thickness of the

geomembrane liners.

•Drive → The welding speed is adjustable and electronically controlled in

steps of 0.1 m/min / feet. Digital display of SET and ACTUAL values. The

power transmission works through a three stage planetary gear.

•Heating system → The hot air temperature is steplessly adjustable and eletron-

ically controlled. It is a floating hot wedge.

Welding pressure

Engage and position the auto-

matic welding machine onto

the material to be welded.

Insert the two geomembranes

liners or films about 5mm at the

back of the machine. Pull the

lever (9). The hot wedge is

automatically pushed forward.

Push and hold down the locking

spring (11). Turn the adjustment

screw for welding pressure (10)

until the drive/pressure rollers

(20/21) slightly touch the materi

to be welded. Let go

the locking

spring (11) and release the tension

of the lever (9).

Keep pushing the locking

spring

of the adjustment screw (11).

Adjust the welding pressure by

turning the corresponding

adjustment screw (10) accord-

ing to illustration A and let go

the locking spring (11) at the

requested welding pressure.

Warning:

If the maximum welding pressu

of 1500N is exceeded mechani-

cal damage may occur.

Welding procedure

•Check: – Drive/ Pressure rollers (20/21) as well as the hot wedge (8) must

be clean before engaging into the geomembrane liner or film.

– Cable length/Cable guide.

•Guide and position the automatic welding machine into the over-lapped

geomembrane liner or film.

•Adjust welding parameters, see page 5/6.

•The welding temperature must be achieved.

•Switch on drive motor with key on keyboard (6).

•Pull the lever (9).

•Check the welded seam (wash/seam thickness reduction). As required,

adjust the welding speed with keys on keyboard (6).

•The automatic welding machine is guided along the overlap with the

carrying handle/guide handle (12), so that the frontal width of the overlap

is kept within the 22mm zone (see illustration B).

Beginning of welding process

•Release the tension lever (9) 1 cm before the end of the welded seam.

•Switch off the drive motor with key on the keyboard (6). Switch off the

heating by pressing the and keys on the keyboard (6) simultaneously.

Adjusting of the guide rollers for the requested material thickness

•Engage the automatic wedge-welding machine on the geomembrane liner

or film to be welded.

• Stretch the lever (9)

• Loosen the hexagon cap screw of the rear guide roller (19).

•The distance between the hot wedge (8) and the rear guide roller (19) should

be the thickness of the material and the sharp tongue of the wedge should lie

centrically to the pressure rollers (20/21).

• Tighten the hexagon cap screw of the rear guide roller (19).

• Loosen the hexagon cap screw of the front guide roller (18).

•The distance between hot wedge (8) and front guide roller (18) should be

about 1 mm.

• Tighten the hexagon cap screw of the front guide roller (18).

ADJUSTING THE HOT WEDGE LEISTER Astro

The LEISTER Astro is suitable to manufacture overlap-welded seams in different

fields of applications. They differ in the width of the welded seam as well as the

width of the test channel. Also welded seams without test channel can be

manufactured. In order to implement these different overlap seams, the appro-

priate drive/pressure rollers have to be installed.
