BEFORE CONNECTION

The Model 1000 is a 1000 Lbs. (453.6 kg) capacity Electrode Stabilizing Oven used to
maintain welding electrodes in their dry state or to dry electrodes which have absorbed
moisture. The Model 1000 connects to three phase power with heat being supplied by two
elements. The oven is normally located in a central storage area. The oven is complete
with recessed control, removable shelves, full insulation, pilot light and a heating system
incorporating low watt density elements. Temperature is thermostatically controlled.
Ensure adequate free space is provided around the oven for safe loading and
unloading of the electrodes. Users should exercise caution when loading and unloading the
oven, certain parts of the oven and the electrodes may reach temperature of exceeding
550º F (288ºC). All exposed body parts must be protected against accidental contact with
hot materials. Safety glasses, gloves, overalls, and protective footwear must be worn when
using the ovens. Hot electrodes must be unloaded into a suitable container capable of
withstanding the heat and of containing the load safely.
To minimise the risk of electrical shock the Model 1000 should not be exposed to
rain or places in a wet location, liquids should not be places in the oven. The oven should
be connected to a suitable, fused power supply using a recognised connector. The oven
must be properly earth grounded. Before performing maintenance on the oven power
supply must be isolated and precautions taken to ensure it cannot be restored. To minimise
the risk of fire do not place food, beverages or other combustible items in the oven.

USING THE OVEN

The oven is loaded and unloaded via a front door. Avoid contact with hot surfaces during
this operation. The load should be distributed securely and evenly within the oven to ensure
even heating. The shelves may be removed to accommodate larger loads if required.
