1.3 Safety measures to be taken

•
The user must carefully read this manual and be familiar with the safety standards in the work
practice.
•
Follow the instructions in the manual at all times.
•
Check the connection voltage against the rating plate on the unit. If the power cord does not have
one, make sure it is fitted with the proper plug. This must be fitted by a qualified electrician.
•
Never use or store an induction heater in a damp environment.
Only use Betex 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.
•
Use suitable lifting equipment according to the weight of the yoke or component.
•
Never use a metal strap to support workpieces or suspend them in the magnetic field. High
currents could start running through the strap, causing it to heat up.
•
Do not hold metal objects near yoke and poles.
•
Whilst heating, observe a minimum distance of 1 metre from the heater.
•
Never remove the induction yoke during heating.
•
Do not modify the heater. Never use home-made yokes.
•
Always check that the induction yoke is positioned correctly against the poles, so excessive
vibration cannot cause personal injury or damage to the device.
•
Do not switch on the heater until the core is closed with a yoke.
