ENG
1. Preface
Thank you for using our induction heater. Please read this instruction manual carefully,
in order to achieve the best results.
This is an induction heating system for workshops/automotive area.
With this device, metallic and magnetic objects (screws, nuts and bolts, bearings etc.) are
heated up, using high-frequency magnetic fields.
The heat is flameless, making it perfectly suitable for removing plastic parts.

2. Safety regulations

A. General workplace safety regulations
Read and make sure you have understood all the instructions. Not observing all the
instructions can result in an electric shock, fire and/or injury.
Make sure bystanders, children, visitors and animals stay at a safe distance during
operation of the induction heater. They could distract you, causing you to lose control
over the induction rod.
Keep your workplace clean and ensure good lighting.
Dirty and dark workplaces easily lead to accidents.
In dry weather, do the work outdoors. If this is not possible, ensure good ventilation and
a dry workplace when you work indoors. With the help of fans please make sure that the air
flow is from indoors to outdoors.
Make sure that a fully filled fire extinguisher is always within reach when working with
the induction heater.
B. Personal safety rules
If you have a pacemaker or any other kind of electronic or metallic surgical implant,
do not operate the induction heater and stay at least one meter away from an induc-
tion heater in operation.
Although the magnetic fields radiating from the tools are only send out within a few inches,
they constitute a dangerous risk for the correct operation of any implanted medical elec-
tronic devices of users and any bystanders.
Do not wear clothing with metallic components, e.g. belt buckles, buttons, pocket
lapels or zips when working with the induction heater. The induction heater can heat
these components strongly and very quickly, and cause burns or even ignite clothing.
Remove any metallic objects, such as a pocketknife, mini tools, keys, chains, etc.
while you operate the induction heater and do not wear any metallic objects, such as
a jewellery, watches, piercings, etc. on your body.
Do not operate the heating rod, while under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any
medication.
Do not use the heating rod within 10 cm of any airbag component. The heat that
emanates from the induction heater can ignite the airbag propellant, causing it to explode
without warning. Refer to the maintenance manual of the vehicle for the exact position of
the airbag. Before operating the induction heater, refer to the maintenance manual of the
vehicle for the exact position of the airbag.
Do not overreach at any time and maintain secure footing and balance. This allows
you to have better control of the induction heater in unexpected situations.
