1.6. Removal of safety devices 

Safety  devices  can  be  removed  only  when  the  main  power  generator  is 

disconnected. 

1.7. Security measures 

The  instruction  manual  should  be  put  in  a  visible  place,  in  the  vicinity  of  the 

furnace.  In  addition,  general  and  specific  rules  connected  with  accident  prevention  and 
environment preservation must be provided. 
All signs which can be found on the machine should be legible.  
 

1.8. Operating the machine 

Only trained staff can use the machine. 

Specify who is responsible for:  
- operation 
- turning on  
- preparation of the machine 
- maintenance and repair of the machine 
 

Apprentices  can  operate  the  machine  only  under  the  supervision  of  a  trained 
worker. 

1.9. Security measures while normal machine operation 

The furnace can be used only when all security devices work properly. At least one 

time a day the machine should be checked in case of any damages. 

The  furnace  should  be  equipped  with  the  metal  pliers  with  insulated  handle  and 

temperature resistant protective gloves. 
The  room  where  the  furnace  is  in  operation  should  be  equipped  with  the  first-aid  kit 
containing  pharmaceutical  preparations  used  in  treating  burns  and  fire  extinguisher  for 
electric appliances. 
 

1.10. Dangers connected with the presence of electric energy 

- all works concerning electric devices and machine power supply can be done only by an 
authorized electrician engineer; 
-  the  side  lids  should  be  always  closed.  Only  authorized  experts  can  work  with  opened 
lids; 
- all loose connections and damaged lines must be immediately replaced. Do not use the 
machine before the replacement; 
- all works while the devices are turned on can be done only when it is necessary.  
 

1.11. Structural changes in the machine 

The  furnace  cannot  be  enlarged  or  modified  without  the  authorization  of  the 

manufacturer. The written authorization is necessary to perform any modifications of the 
machine. 
Faulty parts must be immediately replaced.  
Only  original  spare  parts  can  be  used.  The  manufacturer  does  not  take  the  guarantee 
into consideration if the spare parts used are not original. 

1.12. Activities of special attention  

Staying in the vicinity of the working furnace, especially while its door is opened, 

requires particular caution on account of high temperature inside the furnace chamber.
