NDUCTION F-1

The place of heating should be cleaned of dirt, various lubricants to prevent premature burnout of the silica cord of
the inductor.

NOTE

: Warm up time can be reduced by cleaning the part from rust, paint, oil, etc.

TIP

! To loosen nuts, screws, etc., it is not necessary to heat the material red hot. Heat the nut for 5-10 seconds and

try to loosen it with a wrench. If this is not possible, heat it again for 5-10 seconds, and then try to loosen it again
using the wrench.

Flat inductor

Flat spiral inductors are designed for heating flat metal sheets and for straightening small dents on car bodies by
heating. Also, these inductors are designed for easy removal of stickers, sealants, mastics, etc. by heating the base
material - steel sheets.

Note

: You can use this inductor to remove various strips of adhesive paper, sealants, and

gaskets that are stuck to the metal — for example, in car workshops, etc. We recommend to
keep the spiral at a distance of 5-15 mm from the heated surface. By changing the distance
you can adjust the temperature and warm up time.

Flexible inductor

The flexible inductor is used to heat parts of SUV axles, reinforced sensors, ball joints, etc., and also in cases where
it is not possible to use standard inductors.

Operating method (Fig. 1):
1. Input one end of the inductor (8) into the hole for the inductor (4) and secure it with the fixing screw (2).
2. Wrap the free end of the inductor around the part being heated. Make 2-4 turns.
3. Input the second - free end of the inductor (8) into the hole for the inductor (4) and fix it with the fixing screw (2).
4. Push the button (3) and hold it.
5. After the heating remove one end of the inductor and unwind the spiral. Remove the inductor in the reverse order.

6. TROUBLESHOOTING

1. Inductors do not have thermal protection and thus they are not protected against overload. The recommended

operating cycle: 2 minutes heating and 2 minutes cooling.
2. If the device stops working, make sure that it is properly connected to the electrical network, and also check all
detachable parts. Check the value of the supply voltage. Also ensure that the power cable is not damaged. Allow
cooling of the device for at least 10 minutes, and then plug it in again. If the problem persists, contact your supplier.
3. Using an improper extension cable (too long, small cross-section of wires) can cause a drop in power - see safety
instructions.
4. In case of other problems contact your supplier.
