Schaeffler MF-Generator-2.5-10kW Manual Del Usuario página 5

Foreword
The Schaeffler MF Generators enable clean and efficient assembly
and disassembly. They consists of a generator and one or more
inductors, depending on the choice of the user. The generator
is designed for the connection of inductors used for heating
ferromagnetic workpieces. Suitable materials include iron, steel,
stainless steel, titanium and certain bronze alloys. The maximum
capacity workpieces can be subjected to is 10kW, 22kW or 44kW,
depending on the type of generator.

2. Safety, warnings and potential hazards
This operating manual uses a number of danger levels to draw the
user's attention to potentially hazardous situations.
These levels are:
WARNING!
Warning of danger. Be aware that you are working
with an electrical device. Unqualified or improper
use, can result in serious injury or even death.
CAUTION!
Potentially hazardous situation that can result in moderate or
minor injury.
NOTE!
Potentially hazardous situation that can result in damage to
equipment.
The potential hazard is described using the above danger levels
and the type of hazard. Pictograms are used in the descriptions
for illustration. These pictograms are explained in section 4.1.
Read the prohibitions, commands and warnings and follow the
instructions given. These are given for your own safety, the safety
of third parties and to avoid damage to the equipment.
2.1 Safety measures
■ The user must read this manual carefully and be familiar with
the applicable safety standards at the place of work.
■ Follow the instructions in the manual at all times.
■ Never switch the inductor on when there is no workpiece in the
inductor.
■ If using an optional trolley, always lock the castors when not
moving the device.
■ Check the power supply and inductor cables for damage
before every use. The generator or inductor must not be used if
damaged. Risk of electrocution!
■ Check the inductor for damage before every use.
■ Always use the inductors included or supplied by the
manufacturer. Never use other inductors or home-made
inductors.
■ Always check whether the inductor is correctly fitted into or
around the workpiece. This will ensure uniform heating and
avoid injury to persons and damage to the device.
■ Wear heat-resistant gloves at all times when handling heated
workpieces and the inductor in order to avoid burns.
■ In the event of coils and workpieces heavier than 23 kg, use
lifting equipment.
■ Remove all loose metal objects and/or materials within a
radius of at least 50 cm around the inductor.
■ Ensure that the inductor cables are well away from (ferro)
metallic objects in the vicinity.
■ These can be, for example, worktops or racks. These objects
could be heated unintentionally and the inductor can be
damaged.
During heating:
■ Do not hold metal objects (other than the workpiece) close to
the inductor.
■ Keep a distance of at least 1 metre from the inductor.
■ Never use a metal strap to support workpieces/inductor or
suspend them in the magnetic field. High currents could start
running through the strap, causing it to heat up.
■ Never remove the inductor from the workpiece.
■ Never disconnect the inductor from the generator.
