Product Information
Full details
This mains-powered 60W airless plastic welder is designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts needing to repair thermoset plastics like Polyurethane (PUR) with ease. Its key benefit is providing a controlled heat source for strong, reliable plastic welds, particularly useful for automotive bumper repairs. A potential caveat is the need for specific PUR welding rods, which are sold separately. Key features include adjustable temperature control, a 1.2m lead, and safety stand.

FAQs
What type of plastics can this welder be used on?
This welder is specifically designed for thermoset plastics, most notably PUR (Polyurethane). It is not suitable for thermoplastics.
Do I need special welding rods?
Yes, for optimal results, especially when repairing PUR plastics, it is recommended to use specific PUR welding rods. These are available separately (Part No. 91841).
What is the temperature range of the welder?
The temperature range is adjustable from 350°C (662°F) to 400°C (752°F).
Is a safety stand included?
Yes, the welder is supplied with a safety stand for use when the tool is hot.
How long is the power lead?
The welder is fitted with a 1.2-meter power lead.
What is the power rating of the welder?
The welder has a power rating of 60W.
Is the welder compliant with safety standards?
Yes, the welder is CE and RoHS compliant.
Troubleshooting
Welder not heating up
Check that the power cord is securely plugged into a working 230V outlet. Ensure the power switch is in the 'on' position. Verify the temperature control is set above the minimum setting.
Poor weld quality or plastic not bonding
Ensure the correct type of welding rod (e.g., PUR rod for PUR plastic) is being used and is compatible with the material. Clean the plastic surface thoroughly before welding. Adjust the temperature setting to ensure optimal fusion without burning the plastic. Ensure the welding tip is clean and free of debris.
Welding tip falls off during use
Allow the welder to cool completely. Ensure the welding tip is correctly and securely attached to the heating element as per the setup instructions. If the tip is damaged or worn, replace it with a new one.
Excessive smoke during welding
This may indicate the temperature is set too high for the material or that the plastic being welded is contaminated. Lower the temperature setting and ensure the plastic surface is clean. If using a PUR rod, ensure it is also clean.
