1.1 Safety information
Every effort has been made during the design and manufacture of this furnace
to ensure that it meets National and International standards of product safety.
However great care should be shown by the user at all times when operating
and maintaining high power furnaces which are capable of achieving high
temperatures.
To reduce the risk of accident, follow the instructions listed below:
Warning
To avoid the possibility of electric shock, never expose the elements,
terminals or other electrical components with the source connected
to the mains supply. After completion of a repair, replace all safety
plates before switching on the source.
To avoid the possibility of burns never attempt to dismantle the
source until it has cooled to a safe temperature. This may involve an
overnight wait.
This source contains no asbestos. The alumina-silicate (ceramic
bre) materials used release dust when disturbed which may, in some
individuals, be an irritant to the skin, nose and throat.
Safety Note - Refractory Fibrous Insulation
This product contains alumino silicate wool products in its thermal insulation.
These materials may be in the form of blanket or felt, formed board or shapes,
mineral wool slab or loose ll wool. Whilst there is no evidence of any long
term health hazards, we strongly recommend that safety precautions are taken
whenever the materials are handled.
Exposure to brous dust may cause respiratory disease.
When handling the material always use an approved respiratory
protection equipment (RPE-i.e. FFP3), eye protection, gloves and long
sleeved clothing.
Avoid breaking up waste material. Dispose of waste in sealed
containers.
After handling, rinse exposed skin with water before washing gently
with soap (not detergent). Wash work clothing separately.
Before commencing any major repairs we recommend reference to the European
Association representing the High Temperature Insulation Wool industry (www.
ecjia.eu)
We can provide further information on request. Alternatively, our Service
Department can quote for any repairs to be carried out, either at your premises
or at Land Instruments International.
