7. Operation

WARNING!
 The weight of the workpiece may not exceed the value given in the technical data
(chapter 9). This can cause the machine to break down and lead to possible personal
injury.
 Ensure that the power supply cable cannot come into contact with the cone or the
workpiece to be heated. Damage to the cable can cause electrocution!
Position the workpiece in the centre of the cone of the heater as in the illustration below.
The circular shape of the cone serves as a guide to centre the workpiece.
Some models come with a thermostat. If provided model has a thermostat probe put this on the inner
ring of the bearing as in the illustration below.
The heater will switch off once the temperature of 120°C (250°F) is reached. Once the temperature
drops below 105°C (220°F) the heater automatically will switch on again.

Switch on the device by means of the main switch. The machine starts heating the cone.
Caution!: The cone becomes very hot now! Make sure the cone is not touched without
protective clothing like heat resistant gloves. Without protective clothing keep a least 200mm / 8"
distance from heater surfaces.

Allow the cone to get warm for a short while. After a short while the cone heater is ready for use.

Do not leave the cone heater unattended while it is operational.

Always switch off the heater with the main switch when ready.
The red light will turn off.
When applicable remove the probe from the workpiece.
Use heat-resistant gloves and fit the workpiece without delay to prevent it from cooling down.
