How to Use the BAK RoofOn Automatic Welder
Basic BAK RoofOn Commands
1. How to start the device
Toggle the power switch to the on position to allow cool air to begin circulating through the automatic welder.
2. How to adjust the temperature
Dial the red knob on the back of the automatic welder to the desired temperature. Press the black toggle switch located next to the red temperature knob to heat the element. The automatic welder should reach full temperature in three to five minutes.
3. How to halt operation
Toggle the automatic welder power switch to the off position to allow cool air to circulate through the machine. Once the heating element blows cool air—which usually occurs in three to five minutes—turn the green power switch to the off position.

- Ensure you have a plug wired to the power cable during the initial setup
- Set the black air flow knob—located to the left of the power switch—to the full power setting
- Adjust the welder’s speed by turning the black speed knob—located directly above the black air flow knob—to the left or the right
