5.7 Unshrinking 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 adequate chuck holder (A3) and the inductor stop
(A2), put the tool and the tool holder (H1/K1) for unshrinking into the chuck holder.
Make sure that it is free of dirt, 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 (K1) in one hand and pull slightly upwards.
4- Press the induction button (A5) (yellow) with the other hand, until you can extract
the tool from the attachment. During this operation, the yellow light (A10), lights on.
As soon as the tool comes out, 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 the inductor stop corresponding to the diameter of tools shank to be
unshrunk as well as the position of the selector before renewing the operation.
5.8 Unshrinking modus operandi for a broken tool in the tool holder
If a tool is broken in the tool holder, it becomes impossible to extract the shank of the
tool. To solve this problem, the inductor can be moved upside down :
1- Move the inductor (A1) 180° in order that the i nductor stop (A2) comes underneath
the inductor
2- Then place the attachment (H1), chuck side (H4) upwards, into the inductor by
putting it on the inductor stop and by holding it in one hand (you are reminded that
you must wear gloves)
3- Press the induction button (A5) until the tool shank falls (K1) because of the gravity
4- Cool the tool holder and put the inductor (A1) back in its normal position.
