WARNING!

Do not use the induction heater if supply cord is damaged. The cord must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its agent or similarly qualified persons.

Induction heaters generate a magnetic induction field, which may affect or impair medical devices
such as pacemakers or hearing aids, resulting in a high risk of serious bodily harm. Do not
operate, or be within a suggested minimum distance of 5m (16ft) of the machine while wearing
such devices.

Hot work pieces may burn. Use supplied protective gloves when handling such work pieces
(suitable up to 150ºC (302ºF).

Do not operate an Induction heater in areas where there is a risk of an explosion.

Proper maintenance and handling practices are critical. Failure to follow user manual can result in
equipment failure, creating a risk of serious bodily harm.

Safety precautions


The user should have an appreciation of the contents of this manual, and be familiar with safe
workshop practices.

Follow the User Manual at all times.

Ensure that the machine operates at the correct supply voltage. If the heater has been supplied
without a plug connection to the power supply should only be made by a suitably qualified person.

Do not use or store the heater in humid environments. Bega Induction heaters are designed for
indoor use only.

On mobile models, always apply brake when in a stationary position.

If the heater is equipped with sliding horizontal supports, always secure these with the designated
safety pin, either in the "in" or "out" position.

Use proper handling equipment, appropriate for the weight of the work piece or yoke.

Never support parts with a metal cable or have anything metallic hanging in the proximity of the
magnetic field. Extremely high currents can flow through the cable, causing the cable to heat up.

Do not hold metal objects near the yokes and poles.

While heating keep at least 1 metre (3,3ft) distance from the heater.

Never remove the yokes during the heating cycle.

Do not modify the heater and do not use self-fabricated yokes.

Always check that the yoke is correctly adjusted to the poles otherwise excessive vibration may
occur.

Only switch the machine on when the yoke is positioned correctly – on models equipped with a
swing arm (or swivelling yoke), the arm should always be closed.
