MOVING PARTS can cause injury.

D Keep away from moving parts such as fans.

D Have only qualified persons remove doors, panels, covers, or guards for maintenance as necessary.

DKeep hands, hair, loose clothing, and tools away from moving parts.

DReinstall doors, panels, covers, or guards when maintenance is finished and before reconnecting input power.

MAGNETIC FIELDS can affect Implanted Medical Devices.

D Wearers of Pacemakers and other Implanted Medical Devices should keep away from serv- icing areas until consulting their doctor and the device manufacturer.

OVERUSE can cause OVERHEATING.

DAllow cooling period; follow rated duty cycle.

DReduce current or reduce duty cycle before us- ing induction heating equipment again.

DDo not block or filter airflow to unit.

H.F. RADIATION can cause interference.

DHigh-frequency (H.F.) can interfere with radio navigation, safety services, computers, and communications equipment.

DHave only qualified persons familiar with electronic equipment install, test, and service H.F. producing units.

DThe user is responsible for having a qualified electrician prompt- ly correct any interference problem resulting from the installa- tion.

DIf notified by the FCC about interference, stop using the equipment at once.

DHave the installation regularly checked and maintained.

DKeep high-frequency source doors and panels tightly shut, keep spark gaps at correct setting, and use grounding and shielding to minimize the possibility of interference.

READ INSTRUCTIONS.

D Use Testing Booklet (Part No. 150 853) when servicing this unit.

DConsult the Owner’s Manual for induction heat-

ing safety precautions.

DUse only genuine replacement parts from the manufacturer.

8-3. California Proposition 65 Warnings

Welding or cutting equipment produces fumes or gases which contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause birth defects and, in some cases, cancer. (California Health & Safety Code Section 25249.5 et seq.)

Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

For Gasoline Engines:

Engine exhaust contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproduc- tive harm.

For Diesel Engines:

Diesel engine exhaust and some of its constituents are known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, and other reproductive harm.

Considerations About Induction Heating And The Effects Of Low Fre- quency Electric And Magnetic Fields

Induction heating current, as it flows through induction heating cables, will cause electromagnetic fields. There has been and still is some concern about such fields. However, after examining more than 500 studies spanning 17 years of research, a special blue ribbon committee of the National Research Council concluded that: “The body of evidence, in the committee’s judgment, has not demonstrated that exposure to power-frequency electric and magnetic fields is a human- health hazard.” However, studies are still going forth and evidence continues to be examined. Until the final conclusions of the research are reached, you may wish to minimize your exposure to electromagnetic fields when using induction heating equipment.

To reduce magnetic fields in the workplace, use the following procedures:

1.Keep cables close together by twisting or taping them, or using a cable cover.

2.Arrange cables to one side and away from the operator.

3.Do not coil or drape cables around your body.

4.Keep induction heating power source and cables as far away from operator as practical.

5.Connect work clamp to workpiece as close to the weld as possible.

About Implanted Medical Devices:

Implanted Medical Device wearers should consult their doctor and the device manufacturer before performing or going near arc welding, spot welding, gouging, plasma arc cutting, or induction heating operations. If cleared by your doctor, then following the above procedures is recom- mended.
