7.11.1 Mounting and Adjusting the Guide

Caution: Adjust the welding wedge (22) according to Chapter 8.3 to 8.5 before mounting the guide.
Make sure that the guide cannot collide with the wedge when the wedge swivels in. Start by swiveling in the
wedge while the wheels are not turning and mount the guide in the swiveled-in position in order to estimate
the distance between the guide and the wheels.

To mount the transport rollers (4), push the trans-
port roller onto the holder (4B). Do not use steel
rollers. This can cause a short circuit or machine de-
formation. Make sure that the guide pins of the holder
4B
match the friction holes of the transport roller. Check
the seating of the transport roller to ensure that the
entire circumference of the roller is fully seated on the
holder. Then re-tighten the M6 screws together with
the spring ring and washer (4C).
The quick-action coupling enables various accessory
guides to be quickly mounted or removed. Turn the
5
clamping lever of the guide holder (5) clockwise in
order to secure the guide or counterclockwise in order
to release it.
Before fastening a guide, check whether the welding
wedge (22) has been adjusted. Insert the rod and
5
then clamp
the guide holder (5) with the clamping lever. The
guide can be moved into the desired position on the
clamping elements. Once the guide and the welding
wedge (22) have been adjusted, check that the hot
wedge does not touch anything when swiveling in and
out.
Different guides are available as accessories. Ask
your Leister sales partner about the numerous options
available.
