6) Never pick up or tip the furnace when it is hot.
7) Do not cast when distracted.
8) Do not smoke or eat while handling lead.
9) Do not run the furnace without lead. (Except for initial warm-up period.)
10) Only plug the furnace into a circuit that can handle an additional 7 amp
draw.
11) Wash hands after handling lead.
12) Use caution when adding bullet metal to the furnace containing molten
metal to avoid splashing.
How to Use the Warming Shelf
The warming shelf is located on the rear rim of the pot and allows you to
pre-heat your mould blocks while the furnace is bringing your bullet metal
up to casting temperature. Single and double cavity moulds are best stood
on end with the handles straight up. Four cavity blocks are best positioned
horizontally on the warming shelf. The use of the warning shelf will help re-
duce the time needed for a mould to being producing good wrinkle free bul-
lets.
Mould Guide – Alignment and Use
The Mag 25 mould guide is designed to accept moulds made by Lyman,
RCBS, Saeco and Lee. There are two steps on the mould guide rails which
will fit these various moulds. Note: It is recommended that the mould guide
be adjusted when the furnace is cool and not in use.
To adjust the mould guide, loosen the two wing nuts on the right hand side
of the furnace. Place your mould on the guide rails and position it below the
drain spout. Slide the mould guide up or down as needed to leave about ¼”
space between the spout and the top of the mould. Tighten the wing nuts to
lock it in place. Next, the side to side position of the guide can be adjusted if
needed. See Fig. 2.
Loosen the bolt at the back of the mould guide with the supplied wrench
and move the mould guide side to side so that the drain spout aligns with
the mould sprue plate hole.
