2.2 Description of potential hazards
Warning! Voltage
Be aware that you are working with an
electrical device. Voltages occur on the mains
side, internally and at the outlet which, with
unqualified or improper use, can result in serious
injury or even death.
■ Connect the generator to the mains power
supply as shown on the rating plate.
■ Inspect both the power supply cable and the
inductor cable(s) for damage before every use.
■ Never operate an inductor above its maximum
permitted temperature in order to avoid damage
to the isolation of the inductor.
■ This temperature is indicated on the inductor.
■ Safe disconnection from the mains supply
must be ensured at all times before starting
maintenance and repair work. This can be
achieved by removing the mains plug from the
plug socket.
■ If measurements or tests are necessary in the
device, these may only be carried out by an
electrical engineer.
Warning! Electromagnetic field
Be aware that you are working with an device that
generates electromagnetic fields.
These fields can be harmful for persons with
active medical aids such as pacemakers.
These fields can be harmful for persons with
passive medical aids such as joint prostheses.
The wearing of jewellery can also result in injuries
due to burns.
It is forbidden for persons with active medical aids
to remain in the immediate vicinity of the generator
and inductor when these are in operation. The
generated electromagnetic field may influence the
proper function of such medical aids.
It is forbidden to wear jewellery when working with
the generator and inductors. There is a risk of the
jewellery being heated by the electromagnetic field
and resulting in injuries due to burns.
For this reason, persons with passive implants
are recommended not to remain in the immediate
vicinity of the generator and inductor when these
are in operation.
Furthermore, it cannot be ruled out that the
electromagnetic fields could cause damage to
electronic and magnetic data media. Keep such
equipment away from the area of the generator
and inductors.

Caution! Tripping hazard
Limit the risk of injury due to tripping as far as
possible.
■ Keep your place of work tidy. Remove any loose
and superfluous objects from the immediate
vicinity of the generator, inductor and
workpiece.
■ Lay the power supply and inductor cables as low
as possible to minimise the risk of tripping.
Caution! Risk of burns
The workpiece becomes warm to very hot during
heating.
The inductor can also become hot due to contact
with the workpiece or due to the heat radiated by
the workpiece.
Always wear heat-resistant gloves when handling
the inductor and workpieces to avoid injury due
to burns.
Caution! Risk of injury during lifting
Schaeffler medium-frequency generators weigh
more than 23 kg and must not be lifted by a
single person alone.
A 10 and 22kW generator weighs 46 kg. Lift the
device with 2 persons at the carrying handles or
use suitable lifting equipment.
A 44kW generator weighs 78 kg. Use the eyebolts
on the top of the device and suitable lifting
equipment to lift the device.
2.3 Safety measures
■ The user must read this manual carefully and be familiar with
the applicable safety standards at the place of work.
■ Follow the instructions in the manual at all times.
■ Never switch the inductor on when there is no workpiece in the
inductor.
■ If using an optional trolley, always lock the castors when not
moving the device.
■ Check the power supply and inductor cables for damage
before every use. The generator or inductor must not be used if
damaged. Risk of electrocution!
■ Check the inductor for damage before every use.
■ Always use the inductors included or supplied by the
manufacturer. Never use other inductors or home-made
inductors.
■ Always check whether the inductor is correctly fitted into or
around the workpiece. This will ensure uniform heating and
avoid injury to persons and damage to the device.
■ Wear heat-resistant gloves at all times when handling heated
workpieces and the inductor in order to avoid burns.
■ In the event of coils and workpieces heavier than 23 kg, use
lifting equipment.
■ Remove all loose metal objects and/or materials within a
radius of at least 50 cm around the inductor.
■ Ensure that the inductor cables are well away from (ferro)
metallic objects in the vicinity.
■ These can be, for example, worktops or racks. These objects
could be heated unintentionally and the inductor can be
damaged.
