Carefully keep The Instructions so as to use it any time.
WARNING
![]()
1. When transporting and unloading:
Since the electrode is heavy, dropping or swinging it may cause physical injury or damage to the equipment.
- When the electrode is being lifted or on a forklift track, never enter just under and around it.
![]()
2. During storage:
Do not stack crates too high. Otherwise, they may collapse to cause physical injury.
- Make the stacking height as low as possible.
![]()
3. During usage:
When lifting the electrode and electrode column, they may drop or swing to cause physical injury or damage to the equipment.
- During lifting, never enter just under and around them.
- Do not use any electrode whose threads or end faces are broken.
- On connecting, clean the joint by air-blowing, securely center, and tighten with the proper tightening torque.
- On holding an electrode, avoid its socket portion. Hold the electrode outside a limit mark ( indicated on the socket ).
- To prevent the joint from becoming dirty, use a column cap.
- Do not use any column with the loose joint.
Since it conducts electricity and heat well, the electrode may give an electric shock or cause a burn.
![]()
- During operation, keep off the furnace. When you are compelled to enter, always wear heat resistant, insulating protective clothing, gloves, etc.

4. On handling broken electrodes:
On taking out a broken electrode from the furnace, you may drop or swing it to cause physical injury or damage to the equipment.
- On taking it out of the furnace, do not use wire.
- Use a chain or tongs with chains instead.
- During lifting, never enter just under the electrode and around it.
On cutting a broken electrode (including a nipple and nipple cement), dust occurs, and it may hurt the lungs, bronchi, and eyes by inhalation and adhesion.
Use a dustproof mask and a dust collector. Also, always gargle after the operation is over.
![]()
- If, you have the feeling of physical disorder, consult a doctor.
- Use dustproof goggles.
- If dust should enter the eye, wash it with a large amount of water for fifteen or more minutes, and consult an eye specialist.
CAUTION
![]()
1. During usage:
On unpacking, a rolling of the electrode or a splash of a steel belt after cutting may hurt the body.
- Always use the stoppers to prevent from rolling, and work on the safe side.
- Always wear protectors such as a helmet and safety shoes.
Since the electrode has self-lubricating properties, you are likely to slip on it to fall to the ground.
- Do not step on any bare electrode.
![]()
2. On handling a broken electrode:
The broken electrode may be at high temperatures even if it is black.
- During handling, always wear heat resistant protective clothing and the like.
- Do not leave any combustible material in a broken electrode yard.
Since graphite dust has self-lubricating properties, you are likely to slip to fall to the ground.
- Clean well the floor, staircases and the like not to deposit graphite dust.
Deposited dust may cause leak or short-circuit, leading to fire.
- Remove the deposited dust.
| CAUTION | Wasted stock, worked powder, remainder material and products used cause environmental pollution.
