Safety Recommendations - SKF TIH 220m Instrucciones De Uso

Because the TIH 220m generates a magnetic ield, people wearing
•
a pacemaker must not be within 5 m (16 ft) of the TIH 220m
during operation. Electronic equipment, such as wristwatches, may
also be affected.
• During the heating process observe a safety distance of 50 cm (1.6 ft) with
the workpiece, the heater coil or the core.
• Follow the operating instructions at all times.
• Make sure the voltage supply is correct.
• Electrical arcing may occur when a potential difference exists between the
TIH 220m and the workpiece. This is not dangerous to human beings and
will not cause damage to the TIH 220m or the workpiece. However, the
TIH 220m must never be used in areas where there is a risk of explosion.
• The TIH 220m must not be exposed to condensing humidity or direct
contact with water.
• Never touch the TIH 220m coil, core, yoke or workpiece during heating.
• Never operate the TIH 220m without a yoke in position.
• Never operate the TIH 220m with the cable of the remote control between
the vertical supports of the yoke.
• Do not modify the TIH 220m.
• Use proper handling equipment when lifting heavy workpieces.
• Avoid contact with hot workpieces, especially bearing cages, which are
hotter than the rings. Wear the supplied heat resistant gloves to handle
hot workpieces.
• When using induction heating, the temperature generated in the bearing
inner ring will be higher than the temperature in the bearing
outer ring. Ensure that the different expansion of the rings does not block
the rolling elements.
• Ensure the yoke is applied with the ground faces pointing downward, and
in proper contact with the core uprights.
