I had a Teac head demagnetizer (until I loaned it out some years ago), and it had a slow turn on feature which brought the power up gradually when you pressed the on switch to avoid the potential problem you refer to: creating a magnetic charge in the heads which the demag could'nt get rid of. The Nak demag you refer to may have this feature too, thus the instructions. Anyway, I never trusted the Teac, even though you could hear a rising buzzing while powering up, and I always turned it on "old school style" several feet from the deck. Belt & Suspenders Eng. ya know.
