`
The weight of the workpiece should not exceed the maximum weight as shown in the
heater specifications on page 12 -
TECHNICAL DATA
. Exceeding these limits may result in
catastrophic equipment failure leading to personal injury.
`
Ensure that the mains cable cannot come into contact with the work piece. Damage to the
cable may result in electrocution.
`
Never support components with a metal cable or have any hanging in the proximity of the
magnetic field. Extremely high currents can flow through the cable causing it to heat up
quickly, resulting in a risk of burning.
WORKPIECE SET-UP
Use appropriate hoisting equipment for heavy components and yokes. Manual
lifting of heavy objects is a common cause of injury. Wear safety shoes during
these procedures.
`
Choose largest possible yoke which fits the diameter of the workpiece. Position the
workpiece onto the yoke and place the yoke with the machine milled surface on the poles
of the heater core.
`
When heating a workpiece horizontally, always use the largest yoke available for the best
results.
`
Always make sure that the workpiece avoids direct contact with the housing of the heater.
`
When a heating cycle is completed, always wear heat-resistant gloves. The maximum
temperature of the workpiece on a standard induction heater is 240°C (464°F).
`
Always treat yokes carefully. Falling, bumping, etc. can damage the yoke and/or cause
personal injury. Always store the yoke safely immediately after use.
`
The heater can tilt when hanging a bearing
on a yoke opened too far (>45°). The
potential tilting point depends on bearing
weight, opening angle of yoke and the
position of the bearing (on the yoke).
Using a heavier workpiece may cause
the induction heater to tip over, causing
personal injury and damage to the heater.
