SECTION 1 SAFETY FOR INDUCTION HEATING
safety_ihom1 10/96
WARNING
PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS FROM POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. KEEP CHILDREN
AWAY. PACEMAKER WEARERS KEEP AWAY UNTIL CONSULTING YOUR DOCTOR.
In heating, as in most jobs, exposure to certain hazards occurs. Heating is safe when precautions are taken. The
safety information given below is only a summary of the more complete safety information that will be found in the
Safety Standards listed on the next page. Read and follow all Safety Standards.
HAVE ALL INSTALLATION, OPERATION, MAINTENANCE, AND REPAIR WORK PERFORMED ONLY BY
QUALIFIED PEOPLE.
INDUCTION HEATING can be hazardous.
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
Touching live electrical parts can cause fatal shocks
or severe burns. The power circuit is electrically live
whenever the output is on. The input power circuit and
machine internal circuits are also live when power is
on. Incorrectly installed or improperly grounded
equipment is a hazard.
1. Do not touch live electrical parts.
2. Wear dry, hole-free insulating gloves and body protection.
3. Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulating mats
or covers big enough to prevent any physical contact with the
work or ground.
4. Disconnect input power before installing or servicing this
equipment. Lockout/tagout input power according to OSHA 29
CFR 1910.147 (see Safety Standards).
5. Properly install and ground this equipment according to its
Owners Manual and national, state, and local codes.
6. Always verify the supply ground check and be sure that input
power cord ground wire is properly connected to ground terminal
in disconnect box or that cord plug is connected to a properly
grounded receptacle outlet.
7. When making input connections, attach proper grounding
conductor first double-check connections.
8. Frequently inspect input power cord for damage or bare wiring
replace cord immediately if damaged bare wiring can kill.
9. Turn off all equipment when not in use.
10. Do not use worn, damaged, undersized, or poorly spliced cables.
11. Do not drape cables over your body.
12. Do not touch power circuit if you are in contact with the work,
ground, or another power circuit from a different machine.
13. Use only well-maintained equipment. Repair or replace
damaged parts at once. Maintain unit according to manual.
14. Wear a safety harness if working above floor level.
15. Keep all panels and covers securely in place.
INDUCTION HEATING can cause
injury or burns from HOT PARTS AND
EQUIPMENT.
1. Do not touch or handle induction head/coil during operation.
2. Keep metal jewelry and other metal personal items away from
head/coil during operation.
3. Allow cooling period before handling parts or equipment.
INDUCTION HEATING can cause fire.
1. Do not overheat parts and adhesive.
2. Watch for fire; keep extinguisher nearby.
3. Keep flammables away from work area.
FIRE OR EXPLOSION can result from placing unit
on, over, or near combustible surfaces.
1. Do not locate unit on, over, or near combustible surfaces.
2. Do not install unit near flammables.
3. Do not operate unit in explosive atmosphere.
FUMES AND GASES can be hazardous
to your health.
Induction Heating of certain materials, adhesives, and
fluxes can produce fumes and gases. Breathing these
fumes and gases can be hazardous to your health.
1. Keep your head out of the fumes. Do not breathe the fumes.
2. If inside, ventilate the area and/or use exhaust to remove fumes
and gases.
3. If ventilation is poor, use an approved air-supplied respirator.
4. Read the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) and the
manufacturers instruction for adhesives, fluxes, metals,
consumables, coatings, cleaners, and degreasers.
5. Work in a confined space only if it is well ventilated, or while
wearing an air-supplied respirator. Always have a trained
watchperson nearby. Fumes and gases from heating can
displace air and lower the oxygen level causing injury or death.
Be sure the breathing air is safe.
6. Do not heat in locations near degreasing, cleaning, or spraying
operations. The heat can react with vapors to form highly toxic
and irritating gases.
7. Do not overheat coated metals, such as galvanized, lead, or
cadmium plated steel, unless the coating is removed from the
heated area, the area is well ventilated, and if necessary, while
wearing an air-supplied respirator. The coatings and any metals
containing these elements can give off toxic fumes if overheated.
See coating MSDS for temperature information.
OM-148 367 Page 2
1-1. Additional Installation, Operation, And Maintenance Hazards
FALLING EQUIPMENT can cause
serious personal injury and equipment
damage.
1. Use handle and have person of adequate physical
strength lift unit.
2. Move unit with hand cart or similar device.
3. For units without a handle, use equipment of
adequate capacity to lift unit.
4. When using lift forks to move unit, be sure forks are
long enough to extend beyond opposite side of unit.
FLYING PIECES OF METAL or
ADHESIVE can injure eyes.
1. Wear safety glasses with side shields.
MOVING PARTS can cause injury.
1. Keep away from moving parts such as fans.
2. Keep all doors, panels, covers, and guards closed
and securely in place.
MAGNETIC FIELDS FROM HIGH
CURRENTS can affect pacemaker
operation.
1. Pacemaker wearers keep away.
2. Wearers should consult their doctor before going
near induction heating operations.
OVERUSE can cause OVERHEATED
EQUIPMENT.
1. Allow cooling period.
2. Reduce output or reduce duty cycle before starting
to heat again.
3. Follow rated duty cycle.
STATIC ELECTRICITY can damage
parts on circuit boards.
1. Put on grounded wrist strap BEFORE handling
boards or parts.
2. Use proper static-proof bags and boxes to store,
move, or ship PC boards.
SIGNIFICANT DC VOLTAGE exists after
removal of input power.
1. Turn Off power source, disconnect input power,
and discharge input capacitors according to
instructions in Maintenance Section before
touching any internal parts.
HIGH-FREQUENCY RADIATION can
interfere with radio navigation, safety
services, computers, and communica-
tions equipment.
Have only qualified person familiar with electronic
equipment perform this installation.
The user is responsible for having a qualified
electrician promptly correct any interference
problem resulting from the installation.
If notified by the FCC about interference, stop using
the equipment at once.
Have the installation regularly checked and
maintained.
Keep high-frequency source doors and panels
tightly shut.
1-2. EMF Information
Considerations About Induction Heating And The Effects Of Low
Frequency Electric And Magnetic Fields
The following is a quotation from the General Conclusions Section of
the U.S. Congress, Office of Technology Assessment, Biological
Effects of Power Frequency Electric & Magnetic Fields – Background
Paper, OTA-BP-E-53 (Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing
Office, May 1989): . . . there is now a very large volume of scientific
findings based on experiments at the cellular level and from studies
with animals and people which clearly establish that low frequency
magnetic fields can interact with, and produce changes in, biological
systems. While most of this work is of very high quality, the results are
complex. Current scientific understanding does not yet allow us to
interpret the evidence in a single coherent framework. Even more
frustrating, it does not yet allow us to draw definite conclusions about
questions of possible risk or to offer clear science-based advice on
strategies to minimize or avoid potential risks.
To reduce magnetic fields in the workplace, use the following
procedures:
1. Arrange output cable to one side and away from the operator.
2. Do not coil or drape output cable around the body.
3. Keep power source and cable as far away from the operator
as practical.
About Pacemakers:
The above procedures are also recommended for pacemaker
wearers. Consult your doctor for complete information.
