Risks from hot parts
The very effective heating function only heats the relevant surface zones of the chuck with the
lowest heat input possible. The surface of the heated chucks reaches temperatures of up to
400°C. The coil and the cutting tool hardly heats up at all when operated properly.
Caution!
Risk of injury caused by burns from hot parts!
As a result of the shrinking process the heated tool assembly radiates heat. Therefore, the
heated chuck must be cooled in a timely manner to avoid risk of injury and damage to the coil!
Do not interrupt the automatic cooling of the shrink chuck following the shrinking process!
For your own safety, follow the safety instructions below when working with the device:
The device may not be operated in an explosive environment!
Do not use easily ignitable, solvent-based, or corrosive cleaning agents!
Ensure that hot parts cannot be touched accidentally!
Always wear the gloves supplied when unshrinking / shrink fitting the tools to protect your
hands from burns and cuts!
Place hot tools on non-flammable, heat-resistant surfaces!
Apart from the chuck and the tool, do not allow any metal objects inside the induction coil
as otherwise these will also become hot!
Never reach into the heating area of the coil during operation as rings or chains can also
heat up very quickly!
Always wear protective eyewear during shrinking! Bits of the tools or holder can break off
during the heating process and cause injuries!
2.4
Protecting the chuck against overheating
If the shrinking process is too long or if the chuck is reheated several times within a short period
without correct cooling, the chuck and tool may overheat. Therefore, always keep the heating
times as short as possible during shrink fitting.
Avoid overheating the chuck or repetitive cycles without correct cooling times!
Never re-heat a tool holder that has not cooled down to room temperature.
