The flexible Fast-Off pad is used for heating metal sheet for a lot of applications. When you first use the pad to heat
painted metal, please start with the power level on Low. Keep moving the pad over the area to be heated either in a
circular or back and forward motion and check the temperature under the pad every few seconds until you are
familiar with how fast various surfaces get hot with your inductor. Remember that you can burn the paint if you are
not careful. As with any new tool, patience and practice will let you increase the power level and speed with which the
inductor helps you to do your job.
Removing decals, vinyl graphics or striping : with the INDUCTOR LITE set to Low power, slowly move the pad over
the part that you want to remove in a small circular or back and forward motion. After a couple of seconds, try to lift
an edge of the part. If it begins to lift up easily, then enough heat has been applied, if not, then apply heat for
couple of more seconds and try again. Older decals, graphics, and striping tend to take more heating time. If you
overheat vinyl, it often gets "mushy" and "bubbly". If this happens, then let things cool down and then try to lift and
peel the part off. Be careful not to burn the paint! If sufficiently heated, the stripes should come off easily and all the
glue should be removed with the stripe.
Body side molding removal : body side moldings are removed in much the same way as decals and graphics. However,
with thick moldings, a greater heating power or time is required since the metal underneath the molding is further away
from the pad. Keep the pad parallel to the work surface for better heat distribution. Also, instead of a circular motion,
use a back and forward motion along the length of the molding. Start at one end of the molding and work the pad slowly
back and forward a few inches until you can easily pry the end of the molding loose. Then slowly move the pad down
the length of the molding while peeling the molding off. Try to practice on scrap moldings to develop your technique as
with any new hand tool. The tape and adhesive should come off with the moldings. If glue or tape is left on the panel,
then slow down your motion or increase the amount of heat.
Warming cold body panels : during the winter or in cold climates, decals, graphics, or striping require to be warmed
in the shop for the adhesive to stick. With the pad on the INDUCTOR LITE, you can quickly heat just the body section
that you are working on to apply these items. This will save you time instead of waiting for the panel to warm up
when using conventional methods.
Concentrator
Attachment :
The Concentrator is used for intense heating of rusted or stuck parts such as nuts and bolts. When using the
Concentrator to loosen stuck nuts and bolts, it is OK to use full power to start with. Other uses include caulking removal
from truck beds and trunks of sedans, as well as soldering large electrical connectors and metal forming.
Removing stuck or rusted bolts: the Concentrator is particularly useful in removing stuck or rusted nuts and bolts. It is
better than an oxy-acetylene torch in several ways :
1. It only heats the metal parts positioned within the gap and without flames that can set fire to the many plastic parts
in today's cars. Thus, reduced fire hazards.
2. Unlike the torch which tends to heat both the nut and the bolt, the Concentrator can be applied to the nut only, hea-
ting it and making it expand more than the bolt and thus easier to break loose.
3. The Concentrator plugs into the INDUCTOR LITE, it is lightweight, portable, and ready for instant use.
4. It is not necessary to heat fasteners to a red color. In most case, only mild heat is required to free the seized fastener.
Prolonged exposure of the Concentrator to extreme heat will shorten the life of the inductor and could cause un-war-
ranted damage.
Bending metallic parts : the Concentrator can also be used to quickly bend small round or flat steel stock for a lot of
application.
