Safety recommendations
• Follow the operating instructions at all times.
• The heater should not be used in areas where there is a risk for explosion.
• Risk of electrical hazard. Only qualified and adequately trained personnel
must be allowed to operate the equipment.
• During the heating process observe a safety distance of 1,5 m (4.9 ft)
with the induction heater.
• Since a magnetic field is generated by the induction heater, people
wearing cardiac pacemakers or having metallic implants must observe
a safety distance of at least 5 metres (16 ft) from the induction heater
during operation. Electronic equipment, such as wristwatches, mobile
phones, may also be affected.
• Use proper handling equipment when lifting heavy workpieces.
Secure the workpiece with appropriate lifting and handling equipment
while heating.
• Never modify the heater.
• Use heat resistant gloves.
• All repair work should be carried out by an SKF repair shop.
• Make sure the supply voltage is correct. Connecting the induction heater
to the wrong voltage supply will void the warranty and probably damage
the heater.
• Always make sure the heater is securely connected to earth.
• Do not expose electronic components to high humidity or water.
• Never introduce body parts into the bore of the heater during operation.
• Do not use the equipment in case of damage or heavy wear is detected
on the heating coil.
• Handle the coil with care to avoid shock loads and jamming during
mounting and dismounting.
• Be aware of pinching risk.
• Cracked rings must not be heated with the electrical induction heater.
