CAUTION Prior to prolonged interruptions of work
(approx. 15-30min), set back temperature controller
(1) by about 2 positions (risk of overheating of the
melt in the melt chamber). Set temperature controller
to welding temperature again approx. 5 minutes
before resuming work.
Before resuming the welding job, the temperatures
must be reset and checked on the running hand
extruder using an external thermometer.
