PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

The power lead, when connected to a mains outlet ensures a properly grounded 230 VAC power
input connection. The power unit steps up the 230 volt, 50 Hz alternating line current. A coil is
inserted into the coil sockets and then secured into place with the clamping screws. The coil then
converts the current to a high frequency alternating magnetic field.

This magnetic field crosses the metallic, conductive work surface (e. g., The Nut/Bolt) and vibrates
the electrons in the metal through the principle of electromagnetic induction.

The kinetic energy of the moving electrons is dissipated as heat, which rapidly heats metal within
the tool's working range.

The INDUCTION HEATER heats ferrous metals and their alloys readily.

The power switch is used to turn the Power unit on and off. Push it in to turn on power to the unit.
The unit will remain ON as long as pressure is applied to the switch. Remove pressure from the
switch to turn the power OFF. Unplug the INDUCTION HEATER when not in use.

PREPARATION FOR USE

Carefully read and understand all safety warnings and instructions in this manual before operating the
INDUCTION HEATER. PAY PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO THE SAFETY RULES IN SECTION 1.
Warning
Generator & Inverter Use
The INDUCTION HEATER is designed to operate from a normal 230 volt alternating current (VAC),
50 Hz (cycles per second) mains outlet, and will operate without suffering damage on voltages of up
to 250 v AC.
Generator: Some portable generators, particularly low-cost units producing 4kW or less, are
unregulated and can produce in excess of 230 VAC which will damage the unit and void the warranty.
If you are in any doubt concerning the generator that will be supplying power to the INDUCTION
HEATER have a professional electrician measure the generator voltage with a digital voltmeter.

Measure the voltage with the generator engine warm and under no load. With some generators
the voltage may be reduced by decreasing the engine speed.
Inverter: DC to AC Inverter operation; Use only 2kw or larger sine wave inverter.

The use of square or quasi-sine wave inverter will void the warranty.
