5.1. Starting
 The machine may only be operated by initiated and authorized persons.
 For the qualification, a plastic welding exam can be taken according to DVS
and DVGW.
In danger situations for person and the machine, the mains plug has to be
unplugged immediately.
At the end of the work and during breaks, the machine has to be switched off.
Also take care that no unauthorized person has access to the machine.
Protect the machine from wetness and humidity!
According to VDE 0100, operation on building sites is only allowed with a current
distributor with FI-security protective switch.
 The socket and spigot surfaces are to be clean and, above all, free from
grease. Therefore they are to be cleaned with non-fraying paper and
detergent (e.g. PE – cleaning agent or WIDOS pipe cleansing cloths) before
every welding or if they are dirty.
The nonstick coating of the socket and spigot must remain undamaged in the
working area.
 Take into account the surrounding conditions:
- The welding may not be performed under direct sun rays influence.
- Use a welding umbrella if necessary.
 If the surrounding temperature is under 5°C / 41°F, measures have to be taken:
- Use a welding tent or preheat the pipe ends if necessary.
In addition, take measures against rain, wind and dust.
