Safety Instructions Disconnect power supply before doing any maintenance on the machine. Only qualified personnel should perform maintenance on this machine. Use only Sinclair genuine spare parts.

Attention! Never leave the machine without supervision! Never use or put the machine adjacent to inflammable or explosive materials. Otherwise you might cause fire or explosion due to hot machine parts. 3.1

Introduction This operating manual helps you to become familiar with the Automatic Welding Machine for your maximum benefit. You get helpful information to realize and avoid danger. Thus you do not only improve your own safety, but decrease repair costs and extend the durability of your machine. This operating manual must be read in any case before starting work with the Automatic Welding Machine. Also maintenance personnel must have read and understood the instructions.

Danger while working with machine The Automatic Welding Machine is designed to the state of the art and the current technical standards. Nevertheless its usage could cause danger for life or material values. Use this machine only: -

For the defined application In a technically perfect condition

Disturbances that could impair safety have to be eliminated at once. 3.3

Definition of usage The Automatic Welding Machine is designed exclusively for welding PVC, Polyolefine, and linoleum floor coverings in dry rooms. Any other or comprehensive usage is not according to the defined application. Sinclair Equipment is not liable for any damage or loss caused by this. The defined application also includes: -

3.4

To take care of all directions from the operating manual and The execution of maintenance and service.

Genuine spare parts and safety Spare parts and accessories are designed especially for the Automatic Welding Machine. We explicitly point out that other parts must not be use. By using other parts the safety of the machine can be jeopardized. Sinclair Equipment Company is not liable for damage caused by not using genuine spare parts.

Maintenance The Automatic Welding Machine is nearly maintenance free. The hot air nozzle, the welding tube and the rollers should be cleaned from floor covering residues from time to time. The feed tube can be removed from the machine by turning the black “ball” screw. Changing the heat element. Disconnect the power supply. For changing the heating element the hot air gun has to be removed from the machine. • Remove the thumb screw (1) at the back side of the welding rod . (do not loosen the hexagon socket screw at the metal ring, this would change the position of the hot air gun) • Turn and detach the hot air gun. • Remove the big plastic ring (2) of the hot air gun and change the heating element. • Reassemble the machine in reverse sequence.

Use The Automatic Welding Machine is designed for welding PVC, Polyofine, and Linoleum floor coverings. The various materials need different welding temperatures. Thermoplasts like PVC or Polyolefines can be welded with maximum temperature. For welding Linoleum or rubber materials pay attention to the manufacturer’s specifications. The slotted welding nozzle (1) only heats the area of the groove. The other parts besides the groove are not heated. You should avoid shiny stripes along the groove by that means. Preparing the groove The seam has to be prepared with a groove suitable on the welding rod. The groove depth should not amount more than 2/3 of the flooring thickness. It should not amount to more than 1.8 mm if you use a 4 mm welding rod. Half-round groover blades with a radius of more than 1.8 mm might cause reduced collateral welding. In this case you observe small dark stripes between welding rod and flooring. Decrease the groove depth to 1.3 mm if this happens. Surely the durability of the groove will decrease, too. Heating up the device To heat up the device switch the hot air gun to maximum power. As long as the Automatic Welding Machine does not run, the airflow is directed sideways and not through the nozzle towards the flooring. Thus the flooring cannot be damaged by overheating. Setting the correct speed & temperature. You have set the adequate speed & temp, if a little string of melted material will show at the point where welding rod and flooring surface meets. This indicates that the surface had melted.

5.1

Welding Connect the power supply. The flashing speed display indicates the power supply. Nozzle covering For welding PVC and Polyolefine all 4 nozzles are used. For welding linoleum pull the nozzle covering (2) that covers the top nozzle. Welding 1. Put the Automatic Welding Machine onto the groove. 2. Draw welding rod through the feed tub (3) and under the welding wheel (4). The welding rod must lay in the Groove, the guide wheel must sit above the groove.

Operation To start the welding machine press the START button. After releasing the button, the welding machine will heat the flooring and start to run at the pre-set speed. Set the optimum temperature with the switch at the top of the hot air gun.

6

Keeping the START button pressed To get a welding already from the start, keep the start button pressed for 3 to 4 seconds. This suppresses the motion, but already heats the welding rod and the floor covering. If you release the button, the Automatic Welding Machine starts to run. During the first meters the temperature will rise slightly. Readjust the temperature if necessary. Setting the speed You have set the adequate speed, if a little string of melted material will show at the point where welding rod and flooring surface meets. This indicates that the surface had melted. If the string is getting bigger, run the Automatic Welding Machine bit faster. It should be hardly visible; otherwise the welding wheel may spread it over the surface. Automatic shutoff at the wall If the Automatic Welding Machine reaches the wall, the valve piston will automatically shut off the motion. The hot air gun remains switched on. The hot air is directed to the escape nozzle at the side of the valve. Cut the welding rod above the feed tube just before the Automatic Welding Machine will hit the wall. You can use the loose part later to be welded by hand into the remaining open t. Do not switch off the hot air gun. The Automatic Welding Machine is ready for welding the next groove.

Trim the welding rod After some minutes you can trim the welding rod in two actions with a quarter moon knife. First use it in combination with the trimming guide that will leave some 0.5 mm above floor level. The next run, cut it without even getting a slight, hollow shape of the seam. Cool the machine down After finishing welding, cool the machine down with running ventilator and stopped heating.
