Induction heater

USING THE PREFORMED COILS
The preformed coil is used to heat nuts, fasteners, caulking removal, door
hinges, exhaust manifold bolts, oxygen sensors, etc. The working life of the
preformed coil can be maximised by only heating objects enough to break
the rust bond. Leaving an air gap between the coil and the work piece is
recommended as the insulation of the coil will eventually burn through if
held directly to hot material.
1 Carefully follow the "Preparation for use" instructions.
2 Choose the appropriately sized coil to give the closest fit to the work
piece (nut/bolt etc.) ensuring an air gap of 5 mm.
3 Insert both ends of the coil into the coil location socket and tighten the
locking screws securely.
4 Place coil centrally over the work piece.
5 Activate the power trigger to run the induction heater until enough
heat has been applied to the work piece to break the rust/corrosion
bond.
Tip:
There is usually no reason to heat a nut to a red-hot condition in order
to free it from the corrosion holding it to the bolt.
6 Release the power switch to turn off the power.
USING THE ROPE COIL
The rope coil can be used to free a bearing race from an axle housing/hub,
remove rusted oxygen sensors, remove ball joints & track-rod ends, heat
exhaust pipe joints etc.
1 Carefully follow the "Preparation for use" instructions.
2 Insert one end of the rope coil into one of the coil location sockets and
tighten the locking screw securly.
3 Wrap the coil at least 3 times around the work piece to be expanded.
4 Insert the other end into the remaining open coil location socket and
tighten the locking screw.
5 Activate the power switch to run the induction heater until enough
heat has been applied to the work piece to break the rust/ corrosion
bond.
6 Release the power switch to turn off the power.
