• Keep your workplace tidy. An untidy workplace increases the risk of
accident.
• Take account of environmental influences. Do not expose the induction
welding tool to rain. Do not use the induction welding tool in damp or wet
conditions. Ensure that you have good lighting. Do not use the induction
welding tool in the proximity of flammable liquids or gases.
• Never start the welding process while the supply cable is under the tool.
Ensure that the cable is far enough away from the inductor during the
work process.
• Keep children at a safe distance. Do not allow third parties to touch the
machine or the cable.
• Always wear the correct personal protective equipment when working.
Personal protective equipment includes: safety goggles, safety gloves,
safety shoes, closely fitting working clothes.
• Place the electric cable (supply cable) in a suitable location. Ensure that
it does not constitute a trip hazard and does not wear through. Regularly
check the electric cable, inductor cable and temperature cable for
damage.
• Always switch the tool off and remove the mains connector during
breaks or maintenance work. Do not leave the tool unattended.
• Use approved and appropriately labelled extension cables when working
outdoors.
• The induction welding tool and the hand magnets may have an effect
on the function of cardiac pacemakers and implanted defibrillators. It
is possible that cardiac pacemakers switch to test mode and cause
discomfort. It is possible that defibrillators cease to function. If you are
fitted with any such instruments, you must keep a minimum distance of
50 cm from the inductor (also hand inductor) and the magnets. You must
warn persons fitted with such instruments against coming too close to
the magnets and inductors.
• Do not hold any objects containing metal in the direct proximity of
the inductor (e.g. watches, jewellery, keys, mobile phones, hearing
equipment, implants etc.).
• Regularly check the tool for damage, and that it is functioning properly.
Use the tool only if it is functioning properly.
• Repairs may only be carried out by a specialist.
• When carrying out maintenance and service work, the power connection
to the tool must be disconnected.
• It is imperative to comply with the safety regulations in the respective
country.
• The functionality of this system is guaranteed when original fastener,
stress plate, sleeve and spare parts from SFS intec are used, and the
unit is operated in accordance with the operating instructions.
• The isoweld
TM stress plates become very hot due to the induction
process. There is a risk of burns when touching the stress plates
immediately following the welding process.
• Only use system components from SFS intec or approved by SFS intec.
Do not use any accessories or spare parts from other manufacturers
without approval by SFS intec.
