2.0 Installation 2.0 Installation Unpacking and Handling When unpacking or moving the product always lift it by its base or by both ends of the main body. Never lift it by its work tube or the surrounding insulation. Use two or more people to carry the product and control box. - Page 7 2.0 Installation Ensure that the product is placed in such a way that it can be quickly switched off or disconnected from the electrical supply. If the product is supplied with a work tube or any accessories fit these into position. For optimum temperature uniformity, insulating plugs should be placed in the tube ends as shown in fig.1.

Page 16: Operator Safety
4.0 Operation Operator Safety The ceramic materials used in the product manufacture become electrically conductive to some extent at high temperatures. DO NOT use any conductive tools within the product without isolating it. If a metal work tube is used, it must be earthed (grounded). Switch off the heater switch whenever loading or unloading the product. -
Page 17: Power Adjustment
4.0 Operation A suitably regulated gas supply should always be used. It is recommended that a pressure relief system should be used to avoid an over pressurisation of the work tube. Please note: A product should not be heated up if any valves that have been fitted are closed to create a sealed volume. -
