Operating instructions (translation of original operating instructions) We congratulate you on the purchase of a GEOSTAR wedge welder. You have selected a first-class wedge welder comprised of high-quality materials. This device was developed and produced in accordance with the latest welding technologies. Every GEOSTAR is subjected to strict quality monitor- ing before it leaves the factory in Switzerland. -
Page 4: Important Safety Instructions
2. Important safety instructions Warning Danger to life There is a danger to life from electric shock due to electrical voltage. The hot wedge welding machine must therefore only be connected to sockets and extension cables with a protective earth conductor. Protect the hot wedge welding machine from moisture and wet conditions. -

Page 14: Menu Navigation
6. Menu navigation The GEOSTAR G5 LQS and GEOSTAR G7 LQS have the Leister Quality System (LQS) and thus the function of welding data recording. Using the LQS and myLeister app, the drive speed, the hot-wedge temperature and the joining force are recorded during welding over the welding seam length at the specified distance interval. -
Page 15: Work Environment/Safety
7. Work environment/Safety The device should only be used in the open or in a well-ventilated area. Be careful not to burn the material during welding. Read and follow the safety precautions provided by the manufacturer for the material. Prior to commissioning, check the power supply cord (1), the plug, and the extension cable for electrical and mechanical damage. -
Page 16: Setting The Welding Parameters
8. Setting the welding parameters CAUTION! The welding wedge is set to 2 mm membranes in the factory settings. The welding wedge (5) must be cooled down for adjustment purposes. Danger of crushing when closing the clamping arm (4). Switch off GEOSTAR with the main switch (2) and disconnect from the mains. Welding force and contacting system A. - Page 17 C. Insert test strips (lower and upper membranes) of the material to be welded between the upper and lower drive/ pressure rollers (16/17) and between the upper and lower contacting systems (14/15) and welding wedge (5). Press the locking clamping lever (10) and close the clamping arm (4) using the clamping lever (7). Use your other hand to accomplish this by holding the automatic welder firmly by the handle (11).
- Page 18 E. Switch off the main switch (2) and disconnect GEOSTAR from the mains. While clamped, screw the lower contacting system (15) with the lower contacting system setting screw (19) in the direction of the welding wedge (5) until the lower test strip is touching the welding wedge (5). Then rotate the lower contacting system setting screw (19) once in the direction of the welding wedge (5) so that the upper contacting system (14) is pre-tensioned.
