The Model 00500 and the Model 00600 have been constructed using the latest technology and are
extremely safe and easy to operate. Despite that, there is still some danger if these units are operated
incorrectly and/or by untrained personnel.
Pay particular attention to the following Cautions and Warnings marked with the “Attention” and “Danger”
symbols. Failure to follow safe operating practices may cause injuries, death, or damage to the machine,
and may void your manufacturers’ warranties.
• Before attempting to use the unit you must have
read and fully understood this Owners Manual.
Keep this Owners Manual within easy reach of
operating personnel.
• Visually inspect the unit, power cord, and
accessory items for any signs of wear or
damage before operating 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
induction stop ring in place on the induction
head. Do not allow any part of the induction
head to contact the toolholder or cutting tool
during operation or damage to the machine may
occur.
• Do not wear rings, bracelets, or other metallic
objects while operating the machine. Metallic
objects may heat up very quickly when near the
induction head during operation.
• Use the provided thermal insulated glove
whenever handling tools or toolholders. Never
try to handle hot tools or toolholders until the
cooling cycle is complete.
• If the machine is moved from a cold environment
to a warm one, wait two hours before operating
to prevent condensation 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 times.
• Cutting tools have sharp edges. Handle with
caution.
• Operating the unit while improperly connected
or at the wrong voltage may damage the unit
and could possibly cause death or injury.
• Position 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 flammable
materials, or fumes. Do not use flammable
liquids or aerosols to clean toolholders. Never
expose the machine or hot tools to combustible
materials.
• Never open the machine or attempt repairs
or you will VOID the manufacturer’s warranty.
Dangerous residual voltage is inside that may
cause death or injury.
• Unauthorized modifications or changes
to the ShrinkPRO 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 off the power switch and disconnect the
power cord from the outlet before cleaning,
servicing, or storing the unit.
Make sure you read, understand and follow these Cautions and Warnings, as well as the complete technical notes,
setup and operation instructions before installing and using your machine.

IMPORTANT – TECHNICAL NOTES
POWER REQUIREMENTS & HEATING SPEEDS
ShrinkPRO Models 00500 and 00600 have been designed to operate on a wide range of power supply
voltages. They will operate on 380VAC 3 phase through 480VAC 3 phase power. We recommend 480 VAC,
3 phase, 20 amp connection for optimum performance at all shank sizes. 480VAC 3 phase power has
the highest heating capacity for all sizes of our toolholders. The maximum power output exceeds 13,000
watts, when supplied with 480VAC 3 phase.
NOTE: Do not activate the heat controls without a toolholder in position.
AUDIBLE FEEDBACK
During operation, ShrinkPRO machines power source generates an audible feedback tone that changes
frequency depending on the toolholder size and temperature. It is not unusual to hear a pitch change as
the toolholder temperature increases. Do not be alarmed if you hear this tone as it is normal.
SHRINKFIT TOOLHOLDERS
Techniks ShrinkPRO machines make it easy and safe to perform shrink fit tool changes without causing
damage to the toolholder or cutting tool, as long as the machine is correctly installed and proper operating
procedures are followed.
ShrinkPRO machines are designed to work best with Techniks shrinkfit toolholders made from H13 tool
steel with bore diameters from 1/8” to 1-1/4” (3mm to 32mm). They are designed for shrink fitting tools
with carbide shanks. Tool shank diameter tolerance is critical. At least an H6 tolerance is advised for
optimum performance.
Make sure toolholders are clean and free from defects before inserting the tool in the toolholder. If debris
or a burr is inserted into the toolholder with the tool, tool-life may be reduced. Damage to the tool or
toolholder may also occur as the tool may be difficult or impossible to extract.
NOTE: Toolholders must be at room temperature before attempting to extract the cutting tool.
CUTTING TOOLS
Cutting tool shanks must be perfectly clean and free from burrs, scoring, or any damage. Any imperfections
in the shank can cause the cutting tool to lodge permanently in the toolholder. Burnished shanks can slip
in Shrink Fit holders under some conditions. Sand blasting the cutter shanks has improved the holding
power.
Techniks ShrinkFIT holders are made of H13 tool steel, tempered at >1000˚F. Heating a toolholder to or
above temper point will permanently damage the holding power of the toolholder. Never use an alternate
heat source on shrink fit toolholders or damage to the toolholder and cutting tool may occur.

MACHINE IDENTIFICATION
REMINDER: Always use the supplied insulated glove and exercise
caution when handling toolholders. All personnel should be clear of the
machine before starting the tool change or Quench cycle. Never touch
any toolholders that are not properly cooled. The Quenching Time and
coolant flow must be set to provide adequate cooling time to protect
personnel from injury caused by improperly cooled toolholders.
