Important Tip: Do not power on the unit for extended periods without a coil installed, as this can damage the device.

5. Operating Instructions

The VEVOR Induction Heater is designed for quick and localized heating of metal components.

1. Position Coil: Place the installed heating coil around the target metal component (e.g., rusty bolt). Ensure the coil fully encompasses the part to be heated.
2. Activate Heating: Press and hold the trigger on the handheld induction gun to begin heating. The device will quickly heat the metal.
3. Monitor Heating: The heating process typically takes 8 seconds for rapid heating and 25-40 seconds for thorough, even heating, depending on the size and type of metal. Observe the component for signs of heating (e.g., slight glow).
4. Release Fastener: Once sufficiently heated, release the trigger and use appropriate tools (e.g., wrench) to remove the bolt or nut.
5. Cool Down: Allow the heated component and the induction coil to cool before handling or storing. The unit features a cooling fan that operates automatically to dissipate heat.
