5.6 Shrinking modus operandi
In order to avoid burns and cuts, all the handlings must be done with Kevlar gloves
supplied with the unit.
1- After having beforehand set the appropriate chuck holder (A3) and the inductor stop
(A2), put the shrinking tool holder (H1) into the chuck holder. Make sure that the tool
holder is clean, especially the boring (H2) which will receive the tool shank, and free
of any liquid, especially cutting oil.
2- Take the inductor handle (A4) possibly with both hands and bring the inductor (A1)
down until the top of the attachment (H3) contacts the inductor stop (A2)
3- Take the tool for shrinking (K1) with one hand and bring it to the end of the boring
(H2)
4- Press the induction button (A5) (yellow) with the other hand (A4), until you can
introduce the tool into the boring. During that operation, the yellow light (A10) lights
on. As soon as the tool goes down, release immediately the induction button.
5- Bring the inductor back up with the handle
In case of disorder, the induction will switch off automatically. Cool completely the tool
holder and check that the diameter of the tool shank and the attachment match and
check also the position of the selector before repeating the operation.
