Safety instructions
The HF Fornax
®
T centrifugal casting machine is
designed exclusively for casting dental alloys, with
the exception of titanium. Any other use is deemed
to be improper. No liability will be accepted for any
damages resulting from improper use.
Alloys containing beryllium produce strong oxides
during melting, cause substantial wear to the
crucibles and remain there in significant amounts.
The safety instructions must be followed in order to
prevent personal injury and damage to the machine.
We shall not be liable for damage due to failure to
comply with the safety instructions.
General safety instructions
Place where effective
The device has been designed solely for use in
dental laboratories and comparable establishments
for research, commercial and training purposes.
The device may only be installed on a sufficiently
stable surface.
The unit must only be used in dry rooms.
Operator and operating personnel
The device must only be operated by dental profes-
sionals; trainees and other persons operating the
device must be supervised.
Wear the protective clothing prescribed for use in
dental laboratories and observe the rules of
conduct.
The device may only be operated by staff members
who are familiar with and follow the instructions of
this operating manual.
The operating manual must be easily accessible

Handling the machine
Check if the specifications on the type plate corre-
spond to the power supply network before
connecting the device. Consult a specialist in case
of uncertainty.
The device is categorised under protection class I
and may only be connected to properly earthed
power sources (earth contact sockets).
Modifications of the machine are not permitted.
Always keep signs and stickers such that they are
easy to read. They must not be removed.
Check the machine and leads for damage regularly.
The machine must not be operated if it has any
defects that may result in risks for the employees or
third persons.
Protect the leads against heat, oil and sharp edges.
The leads must not be used to carry the machine or
to pull out the mains plug.
WARNING
Danger from toxic gases!
Titanium reacts violently with the
crucibles. This may lead to bodily
injury and damage to the device!
• Wear suitable protective equipment
when working with the machine.
• When casting dental alloys, do not
use titanium!
WARNING
Danger from toxic materials!
Carcinogenic particles are released
when beryllium is processed!
• Wear mouth protection and ensure
good suction extraction when cast-
ing and finishing!
