1 Safety
The POWER-CLAMP shrink fit machine is constructed using the latest technology and is depend-
able. A function and safety check was carried out. However, the machine can be dangerous if it
is not operated by persons who have not been trained or at least instructed. The same applies for
improper or non-intended use of the POWER-CLAMP.
If the operating manual is not complied with there is a risk of injury or damage.
1.1 Safety notes
• The POWER-CLAMP shrink fit machine and the SPEED COOLER cooling unit
must be operating using the correct supply voltage.
Make sure that you pay attention to the rating plate.
• The power connector is only to be plugged into an outlet with a ground conductor! Using an exten-
sion cord is only permitted if the cord does not break the protective earth conductor connection.
If the protective earth conductor is not connected, inside or outside of the device, this is dan-
gerous and is not allowed.
• The devices are only to be operated in a fault-free state. If there are faults or damage in any of
the devices, the system may no longer be used.
• The shrink fit chuck will become very hot in places. There is an acute danger of being
burnt if these areas are touched. The device has been designed such that a shrink fit chuck
that has become hot locally does not need to be taken out. Always leave it in the holder until it
has cooled down again.
• Always wear gloves when working with shrink fit chucks and tools. The tools have sharp edges.
There is a danger of sustaining injuries from cuts and burns. In addition, the gloves also protect
you against the risk of burns from a shrink fit chuck that has become hot locally.
• Always wear protective glasses when working with the shrink fit machine. Traces of oil and
cooling water can also be heated when the shrink fit chuck is heated and could evaporate.
There is a danger of being scalded by steam and drops of hot water being ejected violently.
• Allow the shrink fit chuck to come in contact with only those liquids and media that when heated
do not generate vapours hazardous to health (such as cooling water, anti-corrosive agents).
• Before they are heated, shrink fit chucks should be dried and cleaned as thoroughly as possible,
so that no vapours are generated during the shrink fit process.
• If the generation of vapours hazardous to health cannot be avoided, such vapours must be
extracted. The applicable regulations regarding hygiene at the workplace must be complied
with.
• The shrink fit machine works at high frequencies. Therefore, people who must use
a pacemaker may not operate the device. During operation, these people are to keep a minimum
distance of at least 1 meter as well.
• Do not allow any metal objects to come into the vicinity of the induction coil. This would cause
the unit to overheat quickly if the shrink fit machine was activated. This applies especially to
jewellery, e.g. a ring on the finger or a necklace or chain, since this could cause severe burns
to the person.
