VARIANT T1 Tech Tips

Machine is not running straight

• Refer to page 35 of the operating manual and follow the directions given under "Hot-air welding machine moves away from the weld". Adjusting the fine track adjustment lever clockwise adjusts the tracking to the right, and counter-clockwise adjusts it to the left. A test weld must be completed to verify that the tracking is adjusted properly, running the machine without material will not test this properly.
