Caution! Risk of injury during lifting A number of units in the Schaeffler heater range weigh more than 23 kg and may therefore not be lifted by one person alone.
■ Never use or store an induction heater in a damp environment. ■ Only use Schaeffler induction heaters indoors. ■ If using a mobile version; always lock the castors when not moving the device. ■ If the heater is equipped with extendable horizontal supports, always secure them with the appropriate locking pin, both in the fully retracted and in the fully extended position.
■ Models with a swivel arm are equipped with a safety positioning cam. An induction heater operates by means of a magnetic field. At a distance of 1 metre, the magnetic field has been reduced to such an extent that it is below the applicable standard of 0.5mT. Schaeffler Technologies...
Bearings and workpieces can be heated to a maximum temperature of 240ºC (464°F). Schaeffler induction heaters are suitable for continuous use. However, when heating to a temperature of 240°C (464°F), do not so for more than half an hour.
Put heaters with wheels on the brake to prevent the heaters from moving. ■ A Schaeffler heater is supplied with ledges, 2 temperature sensors, heat-resistant gloves (suitable up to 250°C / 482°F) and acid-free grease.
