    Model 41-ht: the job welder this model is used for tack or hand welding with round tips at speeds of approximately 12” (305 mm) per minute. It is ideally suited for back welding of pipe, short radii or hard-to- reach areas. It operates on shop air or insert gas. Model 42-tm: trainer & maintenance we...

    How to set up a welder: 1. Close valve on air-pressure regulator by pulling upward on the plastic knob until a clicking sound is heard, and then proceeding to turn the knob counter clockwise this will prevent possible damage to the gauge from a sudden surge of excessive air pressure. 2. Connect the ...

    8. If the threads at the end of the barrel become tight, clean them with a 9/16”-18 tap. Occasional application of high temperature grease on the threads (both at the outlet end of the barrel and on the spanner nut) will prevent seizing and keep threads free. How to disconnect the welder: when weldi...

    Welding operations: there are three basic types of plastics welding with hot-air: tack welding, hand welding and high-speed welding. Tack welding tack welding is a shallow fusion of the mating surfaces of the material. It possesses little tensile strength. It holds the pieces together until the regu...

    Corners, short runs and small radii. It also provides the begin- ner with a chance to determine the correct balance of heat and pressure required to produce a good weld. 1. Install the round tip and allow for warm-up time. Hold the welder in one hand and weld rod in the other hand. 2. Preheat the ba...

    Figure 3b. Good and bad welds 7. The weld can be stopped at any time by merely removing the heat from the weld area. The weld may be continued from that point with the same rod, or an entirely new start can be made, using the procedure above. Figure 4. Types of welds 8. When the weld is completed, c...

    High-speed welding the principle of high-speed welding incorporates the basic methods utilized in hand welding with specially designed and patented tools. Here too, the requirements for constant heat and pressure must be fulfilled. The accelerated rate of speed in high-speed welding is possible beca...

    5. While continuing to exert moderate pressure with the shoe, lean the welder to about 60º toward the operator and start pulling the welder in the same direction of the weld, at the same time helping the rod into the preheating tube with light hand pressure (see figure 5, illustration 2). This techn...
