Vinyl sheet flooring installers need reliable welding tools, and reliable results are a must as it is not
cost effective to test every welded seam. Leister floor tools and automatic welders provide the
highest quality repeatable results by supplying constant temperature, pressure, and speed during
operation.
A floor that is properly welded is critical when it comes to hygienically sensitive surfaces. This is
why most floors in public buildings such as hospitals or schools need to be welded properly, as
well as in public transportation facilities such as planes, trains, or buses. A high-quality weld is also
required in residential construction or offices in order to satisfy design requirements or to achieve
a specific design.
Leister's ergonomic floor tools will support you in any situation and guarantee reliable and economic
operation. We maintain a global and close-knit service and distribution network that provides fast,
reliable service.
Over the following pages, please view our extensive flooring installation tool selection through
which Leister can support you in your work.

Welding and Pointing
For flooring applications with surface areas that have hygienic requirements which are also exposed to moisture
(wet rooms) or in rooms subject to intensive wet cleaning, properly welded floors are a must.
Welding in 4 Steps
Grooving
The flooring material must be glued to the substrate using the adhesive recommended by the
manufacturer.
Caution: B efore grooving, the adhesive between the substrate (screed) and the floor cover-
ing must be dry.
A groove is then milled in the floor covering using the GROOVER.
Caution: Work step by step: Groove first, then weld. 1
5 mm
Different blades are used depending on the floor welding application.
Caution: This will depends upon the welding and the properties of the flooring material.
The cutting depth is determined based on the following (Fig. 1):
•• A maximum of half of the welding rod diameter.
•• No more than 2/3 of the flooring material thickness
4 mm
Welding – preparation
The milled groove must be positioned in the center of the seam, otherwise the weld will not be
adequate (Fig. 2). 2
Caution: Before beginning the weld, a separate weld test must always be performed to
verify the heat. speed and temperature settings are correct for each application.
The welding parameters must be set so that a weld bead forms (Fig. 3).
Material Manual welding tempe- Automatic welding tem-
rature perature
Linoleum Approx. 572–752°F Approx. 752–842°F

PUR/TPU: Approx. 662–752°F Approx. 842–932°F
PVC: Approx. 662–842°F Approx. 842–1022°F
A welding nozzle with a narrow air outlet must be used in order to avoid any impairment to the
surface covering.
Caution: An impairment only becomes visible after several cleaning cycles.
Short welded seams a more easily welded with a TRIAC ST/AT or the HOT JET S than a
MINIFLOOR or UNIFLOOR machine..

Welding – implementation
Welding with an automatic welder (UNIFLOOR / MINIFLOOR)
Is recommended for time savings and precise / repeatable welded seam results.
Constant (high) speed
Constant pressure
Constant temperatures (UNIFLOOR E / MINIFLOOR with TRIAC AT)
Cutting – step 1
The first detachment procedure takes place when the welding rod is not yet cool
using a sharpened quarter-moon knife and a slide attachment.
Caution: It is essential that the welding wire is cut in two stages.
This prevents the weld from sagging below the level surface. (Fig. 4).
Cutting – step 2
The second trimming procedure only takes place when the welded seam has cooled
down. The cut is made flush to the surface covering using the quarter moon knife
again.
The second cut takes place after the first cut and after a rest period.
Rest period for linoleum approx. 15 minutes
5
Rest period for PVC approx. 5 minutes
The surface is now able to bear a load and can be cleaned (Fig. 5).
Rest period for linoleum until it can bear a full load approx. 12 hours
Rest period for PVC until it can bear a full load approx. 1 hour

TRIAC ST – Design meets experience
The TRIAC ST from Leister is primarily used for welding and plastic fabrication. During its development, a
deliberate choice was made to do without extra technical features. Instead, it is distinguished by its comfortable
design, as well as being reliable, versatile and user-friendly, like its predecessor the TRIAC S. A prominent feature
here is the two-component handle, which is not only attractive, but also gives the user perfect grip. The low weight,
of less than one kilogram (2.2 lbs), ensures perfect weight balance.
Product advantage
1 Ergonomic handling:
The two-component handle and per-
fect tool balance ensure ideal grip and
optimum working even under the
toughest conditions.
Perfect weight:
Weighing less than 2.2 lbs, the
TRIAC ST is even lighter than
its predecessor.

3 Welding power:
Thanks to the optimized,
highly robust motor, TRIAC ST
guarantees high welding power.

4 Reliability:
New temperature manager and high
dust resistance provide the heating
element with a long service life.
5 Swiss thoroughness:
The air filters, located on either side,
easily can be removed and cleaned.
This ensures optimum air flow and
maximum power output.
m ad e
The filters offer active protection
against moisture and dust.

TRIAC AT: Robust and intelligent.
The TRIAC AT is an intelligent hot-air hand tool—for welding and shrinking plastics—that is suitable for on-site use. It
is designed for the needs of even the most demanding professional. Every tool undergoes stringent quality checks
prior to leaving the factory in Switzerland. This high-quality hot-air hand tool is equipped for all situations. Its univer-
sal areas of application are virtually unlimited. The TRIAC AT will continue to prove its merit in any weather condition
and is just as effective outside as it is indoors – all during continuous operation.
