Troubleshooting
Tool not heating up
Verify the power connection is secure and the outlet is functional. Check for any visible damage to the power cord.
Uneven welds or poor adhesion
Ensure the PVC surfaces are clean and free of dust or grease. Allow the tool to reach its full operating temperature before welding. Practice maintaining consistent speed and pressure.
Nozzle is blocked
Let the tool cool down completely. Carefully remove the nozzle and clear any obstructions with a non-metallic tool or brush.
Plastic appears to be burning rather than melting
The operating temperature may be too high for the specific PVC material, or the tool is held too close. Move the tool slightly further away and ensure consistent motion.
