The UNIDRIVE 500 is intended for professional use on ﬂat and sloping roofs, certain geosynthetic applications,

and the swimming pool market.

Welding processes and types of materials

• Overlap welding of thermoplastic/elastomer membranes (such as TPO/FPO, PVC, ECB, modiﬁed EPDM, EVA,

PIB, PMI, PO, PP)

• Overlap welding for base seams

• Close-edge welding on roof and cross-seam parapets and eaves up to 60 mm

• Welding on roof parapets and eaves

• Welding widths: 15, 30 and 40 mm

• Swimming pool models

• Waterstops for below-grade concrete applications

• Circumferential welds

Any other use of the UNIDRIVE 500 or any use beyond the type of use described is deemed improper use.

We reserve the right to make technical changes at any time without prior notice.

1. Application

1.1 Intended use

1.2 Improper use

2. Technical data

Comply with applicable national statutes regarding the carrying or lifting of loads.

The weight of your UNIDRIVE 500 including the transport box is 7.5 kg (4.5 kg without trans-

port box).

Transport the semi-automatic hot air welder only with the transport box included with the

delivery (see scope of delivery 5 [4.2]) and carry the transport box by the handle provided.

The hot-air blowers (6) MUST be allowed to cool down prior to transport.

Never store ﬂammable materials (such as plastic, wood, or paper) in the trans-

port box.

Never use the carrying handle (4) on the device or on the transport box for

transporting with a crane.

To manually raise the semi-automatic hot air welder, use the carrying handle

(4).

5.1 Adjusting the Welding Nozzle

5.2 Retooling for different welding widths

To retool to a dierent welding width, proceed in accordance with the sequence described below.

Allow the device to cool down in Cool Down mode.

Before beginning with dismantling work, make sure that the power cord (1) is disconnected from the

mains.

1. Release the cheese head screws M5 × 30 on the two drive/pressure rollers (7) (screw length varies depending

on roller type).

2. Remove the drive/pressure rollers (7).

3. Mount the new drive/pressure rollers (7).

4. Retighten the new M5 cheese head screws.

5. Release the hexagon socket screw.

6. Remove the welding nozzle (8) that is currently mounted.

7. Insert the desired welding nozzle (8).

8. Adjust the welding nozzle (8) (see Adjust welding nozzles 7 [5.1]).

9. Retighten the hexagon socket screw.

Step 1: Safety precautions

Step 2: Adjusting the roller width (analogous to the 15, 30, or 40 mm welding nozzle)

Step 3: Changing the welding nozzle (15, 30 or 40 mm)

6.1 Work environment and safety

The semi-automatic hot-air welder must only be used in the open or in a well-ventilated area.

In addition, comply with national statutory requirements regarding occupational safety (securing

personnel or devices).

Use the device only on a ﬁreproof surface.

Read the material safety data sheet of the manufacturer of the material and follow that company's

instructions. Be careful not to burn the material during the welding process.

Never use the semi-automatic hot-air welder in explosive or readily inﬂammable surroundings and

maintain sucient distance from combustible materials or explosive gases at all times.

Anti-fall protection when working on areas where there is a danger of falling.

When welding on roof parapet (parapet, eaves), the semi-automatic hot-air welder must be

secured to an anchor point using the carrying handle (4) and a safety line (e.g. rail or rope

safety systems) as protection against falling.

With respect to the safety chain, care must be taken to ensure that all of the safety elements (carabiner

hooks, ropes) have a minimum load-carrying capacity of 7 kN in every anticipatable direction. For the

suspension of the machine, it is mandatory to use clasp carabiners (Twist-Lock or screw types). All sa-

fety chain connections must be installed and checked in accordance with manufacturer speciﬁcations.

Before each use and after any unusual occurrences, the carrying handle (4) that is used for fastening

the safety rope must be inspected by an individual with expertise in this area. The carrying handle (4)

is not permitted to exhibit any cracks, corrosion, notches or other material faults.

Caution: Secure the semi-automatic hot air welder with the carrying handle (4)only!

Caution: The semi-automatic hot-air welder must never be fastened to single anchoring points which

allow ropes to sag. The connection equipment must always be set to the shortest length possible in

order to eliminate the chance of falling over the edge of the parapet.

Step 1: Safety precautions

Check the basic setting of the welding nozzle (8).

• Check whether the material to be welded is clean between the overlap and on the upper and lower sides.

• Then check whether the welding nozzle (8), the drive/pressure roller (7), and the pressure belt (9) are

clean.

• If necessary, position the optionally available welding plate (see Scope of delivery 5 [4.2]).

Caution: The device may fall or drop in an uncontrolled manner due to gravity. The securing point is not designed

to withstand the shock-like stress of an abrupt fall.

Contact the manufacturer without hesitation if uncertainties arise during installation or operation.

Power cord and extension cable

• The nominal voltage speciﬁed on the device (see Technical data 3 [2]) must match the mains voltage.

• The power cord (1) must be able to move freely and must not hinder the user or third parties during work

(danger of tripping).

• The extension cable must be authorized for outdoor use and be marked accordingly. Take into account the

necessary minimum cross-section/gauge for extension cables, as required.

Generators for power supply

When using generators as a power supply, please ensure that the generators are grounded and equipped with

residual-current circuit breakers.

When selecting the nominal output of the generators, the formula «1.5 – 2 × nominal output of the semi-automa-

tic hot-air welder» applies.
