Danger! Unplug the tool before opening it, as live components and connections are exposed.
Incorrect use of hot air tools can present a fire and explosion
hazard, particularly in the proximity of flammable materials
and explosive gases.
The tool must be operated under supervision.
Heat can ignite flammable materials which are not in view.
For personal protection, we strongly recommend the tool to
be connected to an RCCB (Residual Current Circuit Breaker)
before using it on construction sites.
The rated voltage stated on the tool must correspond with
the mains voltage.
Danger of getting burned! Do not touch the end of the
heater tube and nozzle when they are hot. Let the tool
cool down. Do not point the hot air flow in the direction of
people or animals.
Protect the tool from damp and wet.
Connect tool to a receptacle with protective earth terminal.
Any disconnection of the protective conductor in or outside
the tool is dangerous!
Only use extension lead with protective conductor.

OPERATION LEISTER Uniplan E
Operational condition
• Check the nozzle’s basic setting. (Detail A)
• Automatic drive
Automatic drive is adjusted as required, depending on nozzle position by means
of switch pin (26) and set screw (27).
• Guide roller
According to the application, the guide roller (25) is set to "active" (operational) or
"deactive" (non-operational) by means of guide roller knob (24) and guide roller
lever (23) (see Details B and C). The guide roller (25) causes the automatic welding
machine to carry out a straight run to the edge of the welding seam.
• Connect tool to the mains. Mains voltage must correspond with the voltage
rating stated on the tool.
• Switch on tool using main switch (17). Hot air blower (3) starts automatically.
• Important: undervoltage
In case the maximum temperature is not reached, reduce air volume by means of
manuel air vane (14) and potentiometer for air flow (20).
Tool positioning
• Swivel hot air blower (3) using swivel lever (22) up to the stop.
• Operate lifting device (11) by means of lifting device lever (16) so that
drive/pressure roller (6) and drive roller (9) are at no-load.
• If welding is being carried out by means of guide roller (25), lock guide roller lever
(23) into support bracket (12) (see Detail B).
• Position automatic welding machine into the overlap of the material to be welded.
The outside edge of drive/pressure roller (6) and guide roller (25) must line up with
the overlap edge of the material to be welded.
• Activate lifting device (11) by means of lifting device lever (16) so that the automatic welder is ready to start.

Welding parameters
• Set potentiometer for welding speed (19) to required value.
• Set potentiometer for air flow (20) to required value.
• Set potentiometer for air temperature (21) to required value.
• The pressure derives from the actual weight of the automatic hot air welding
machine. Use additional weight if necessary.
Welding process
• Swivel hot air blower (3) up to the stop using swivel lever (22). The welding process
starts automatically via automatic drive.
• If necessary, the tool can be started manually by means of the drive switch (18).
• Check welding process. Adjust welding parameters using potentiometers (19), (20)
and (21) if necessary.
• When welding has finished, swing hot air blower (3) to the stop by means of swivel
lever (22). Welding process stops automatically.
• After completing welding work, set potentiometer for air temperature (21) to zero
so that the hot air blower (3) cools down.
•Switch off tool at the main switch (17).
• Disconnect tool from the mains.
• Assembling additional weight
– Attach additional weight holder (29) to the
Uniplan E tool by means of cylindrical head
screw M8x20 (28).
– Put additional weight (30) into additional
weight holder (29).
