of vital electronic equipment or those who have metallic surgical implant should consult their Doctor before using Induction heater.
8DO NOT wear clothing with metallic components e.g. belt buckles, buttons, zips when working with the induction heater as it can
cause such items to heat up.
9Remove any metallic components e.g. keys, chains, tools etc. while you operate the induction heater and DO NOT wear any metallic
objects such as jewellery, watches, piercings etc. on your body.
8DO NOT use the heating element within 10cm of any airbag component.
8DO NOT use the induction heater in the rain or in humid conditions or immerse it in water.
8DO NOT leave the induction heater unattended whilst turned on.
8DO NOT attempt to repair or service the induction heater.
9Ensure area is adequately ventilated and dry.
9Ensure ambient temperature is between -10 to 40 °C
9Avoid using in bright sunshine or rain.
8DO NOT not use the machine in an environment where the air is polluted with conductive dust or gases.
8DO NOT attempt to heat aerosol and paint cans or any pressurised containers used for storing fuel, gases and liquids.
8DO NOT use any heating coil if insulation has been breached to avoid sparking on contact with a metal surface.
WARNING! Due to the heat generated by the induction coils blistering of painted surfaces will happen if over heated.
WARNING! Fumes and smoke from hot/burning adhesives are toxic. Wear a suitable mask in such circumstances.

4. OPERATION
4.1. WORK CYCLE - two minutes on, 5 minutes o󰀨.
4.2. NOTE: DO NOT use the induction heater longer than for one work cycle. The circuit board has overheating protection but
the electrodes do not.
4.3. DIRECT COIL/SIDE COIL
4.3.1. Coil to heat nuts/bolts, screws etc. g.2. Keep gap of 3-4mm between coil and object being heated. DO NOT reuse bolts as heat may
have e󰀨ected the physical properties of the bolt.
4.4. PAD COIL Ø55MM
4.4.1. Use Pad coil for heating of sheet steel to assist with the removal of decals, stickers, sealants/putties, use the coil approximately 5mm
away from the surface of the steel sheet.
WARNING! Over heating will damage painted surfaces. No liability will be accepted for damage caused by improper use.
4.5. FLEX COIL 830MM
4.5.1. Use Flex coil when it is not possible to use direct coils due to space, or position of object to be heated. Can be used on exhaust pipes
and suspension parts, by wrapping the coil around the part before connecting to the torch.
5. MAINTENANCE
WARNING! Before maintenance and any repair, the power supply must be turned o󰀨 and the plug removed from the socket.
5.1. Remove dust by using clean dry compressed air regularly, if operating in a dusty environment this should be done on a daily basis.
5.2. Check cables for any sign of damage, if any part of the heater is damaged replace or repair. If in doubt contact a qualied electrician.
5.3. Avoid water and steam entering the machine, if this happens disconnect from power source and allow to dry, DO NOT use unless it
has been checked by a qualied electrician.
5.4. If not in use the machine and attachments should be stored in a dry, childproof area.
6. TROUBLESHOOTING
6.1. The induction heater switches itself o󰀨 when it overheats, however, the electrodes DO NOT have protection against overheating. This
is the reason for a work cycle (4.1).
6.2. If the induction heater switches o󰀨 suddenly and the LED lamp changes to blinking mode make sure that the power supply is not
interrupted. If you are using an extension cord, make sure there are no kinks in it. Let the device cool down for at least 15 minutes and
then try again.
6.3. If the problem persists, please contact your Sealey stockist.
