Important – Cautions & Warnings
The Model 00400 has been constructed using the lat-
est technology and is extremely safe and easy to op-
erate. Despite that, there is sll some danger if these
units are operated incorrectly and/or by untrained
personnel.
Pay parcular aenon to the following Cauons and
Warnings marked with the “Aenon” and “Danger”
symbols. Failure to follow safe operang pracces
may cause injuries, death, or damage to the machine,
and may void your manufacturers’ warranes.
• Before aempng to use the unit you must have
read and fully understood this Owners Manual. Keep
this Owners Manual within easy reach of operang
personnel.
• Visually inspect the unit, power cord, and accessory
items for any signs of wear or damage before
operang the unit. Do not use the unit if there is
any sign of damage, or if the unit is not performing
normally.
• Never operate the machine without the correct
inducon stop ring in place on the inducon head. Do
not allow any part of the inducon head to contact
the tool holder or cung tool during operaon or
damage to the machine may occur.
• Do not wear rings, bracelets, or other metallic objects
while operang the machine. Metallic objects may
heat up very quickly when near the inducon head
during operaon.
• Use the provided thermal insulated glove whenever
handling tools or toolholders. Never try to handle
hot tools or toolholders unl the cooling cycle is
complete.
• If the machine is moved from a cold environment
to a warm one, wait two hours before operang
to prevent condensaon build-up from causing
electronic system errors.
• Persons with heart pacemakers may not operate the
machine, and must maintain a minimum safe distance
of 6 feet (2 meters) from the machine at all mes.
• Cung tools have sharp edges. Handle with cauon.
• Do not obstruct the area above the inducon head
or place items under or near the path of the tool
holder. This could create an unsafe condion during
the automated movement of the tool holder.
• Do not bypass EOT switches or obstruct the movement
of the EOT plates. This could create a pinch hazard.
• The power cord provided must be plugged into the
correct NEMA L16-20R outlet. Operang the unit
while improperly connected or at the wrong voltage
may damage the unit and could possibly cause death
or injury.
• Posion the power cord so it cannot be damaged by
fork trucks or other equipment, or cause a tripping
hazard for personnel.
• Do not operate the machine in a wet environment
where exposure to coolant or spills are likely to occur.
Electric shocks or damage to the machine may occur.
• Never operate the machine around ammable
materials, or fumes. Do not use ammable liquids
or aerosols to clean tool holders. Never expose the
machine or hot tools to combusble materials.
• Never open the machine or aempt repairs or you
will VOID the manufacturer’s warranty. Dangerous
residual voltage is inside that may cause death or
injury.
• Unauthorized modicaons or changes to the
ShrinkSTATION machine will VOID your manufacturer’s
warranty. Do not try and service your unit yourself.
Techniks can provide any necessary repairs or
maintenance. Do not modify or disable the built-in
safety features of the machine.
• Turn o the power switch and disconnect the power
cord from the outlet before cleaning, servicing, or
storing the unit.
• Do not operate this machine, if the EOT switches are
not working properly.
Make sure you read, understand and follow these
Cauons and Warnings, as well as the complete
technical notes, setup and operaon instrucons
before installing and using your machine.

Important – Technical Notes
Power Requirements & Heating Speeds
Techniks Model 00400 operates on a 208-240 VAC,
15 amp, single phase power supply. Tool holders for
smaller cung tools require less power to heat, but
must be heated to a higher temperature than larger
tools to perform inseron and extracon.
NOTE: Do not acvate the heat controls without a
toolholder in posion.
Audible Feedback
During operaon, ShrinkSTATION machines pow-
er source generates an audible feedback tone that
changes frequency depending on the tool holder size
and temperature. It is not unusual to hear a pitch
change as the tool holder temperature increases. Do
not be alarmed if you hear this tone as it is normal. If
you are heang a large tool holder, it is unlikely that
you will be able to hear the tone generated at all.
ShrinkFIT Toolholders
Techniks ShrinkSTATION machines make it easy and
safe to perform shrink t tool changes without causing
damage to the toolholder or cung tool, as long as
the machine is correctly installed and proper operat-
ing procedures are followed. ShrinkSTATION machines
are designed to work best with Techniks shrink t
tool holders made from H13 tool steel with bore
diameters from 1/8” to 1-1/4” (3mm to 32mm). They
are designed for shrink ng tools with carbide shanks.
Tool shank diameter tolerance is crical. At least an H6
tolerance is advised for opmum performance.
Make sure toolholders are clean and free from de-
fects before inserng the tool in the tool holder. If de-
bris or a burr is inserted into the tool holder with the
tool, tool life may be reduced. Damage to the tool or
toolholder may also occur as the tool may be dicult
or impossible to extract.
NOTE: Holders must be at room temperature before
aempng to extract the cung tool.
Cutting Tools
Cung tool shanks must be perfectly clean and free
from burrs, scoring, or any damage. Any imperfec-
ons in the shank can cause the cung tool to lodge
permanently in the toolholder. Burnished shanks can
slip in Shrink Fit holders under some condions. Sand
blasng the cuer shanks has improved the holding
power.
Techniks ShrinkFIT holders are made of H13 tool steel,
tempered at 1050˚F. Heang a tool holder to or above
temper point will permanently damage the holding
power of the tool holder. Never use an alternate heat
source on shrink t toolholders or damage to the
toolholder and cung tool may occur.
