Safety

When used correctly, the Langmuir Systems Vulcan16 will offer you years of safe operation. However, like all other automated and industrial type machinery, there are important safety considerations and precautions that must be followed in order to avoid injury. Study these safety warnings carefully before assembling and using your machine.

ELECTRIC SHOCK

Electric shock can cause serious injury or death. This machine requires the use of high voltage electricity to operate. To avoid injury, always adhere to the following precautions:

  • Never touch bare wires/buses/connections or components that are carrying electricity.
  • Repair or replace all worn or damaged components. Turn off power to machine and plasma cutter when making repairs.
  • Install and maintain equipment in accordance with the National Electric Code (NEC)
  • If you have limited electrical knowledge/experience, hire a certified electrician to perform all electrical work.

FIRE AND EXPLOSION

The Vulcan 16 is not designed to contain explosions or fires. The oven is outfitted with fire retardant mineral wool insulation to mitigate potential hazards from open flames. Electrical fires can be caused if the machine is operated incorrectly. To avoid injury, always adhere to the following precautions.

  • Never operate the machine in the vicinity of flammable materials or where there are volatile and combustible fumes in the air.
  • Always keep a fire extinguisher nearby in case of emergency.
  • Never operate the machine in a poorly ventilated area.
  • Be sure to read and understand all MSDS safety data for any materials and powders used while operating the Vulcan 16.
  • NEVER store flammable materials on top of or inside of the Vulcan 16

HAZARDOUS FUMES

Gases and fumes produced during the powder coating process can be hazardous to your health. To avoid injury, always adhere to the following precautions:

  • Wear a properly rated respiratory mask during use of the machine. Never operate the machine in an area with minimal or no ventilation. Use fans and blowers to remove fumes and gases from the work area.
  • If ventilation is poor, use an air-supplied respirator system.
  • The type of fumes and hazard level depends greatly on the powder being sprayed. Before coating, consult the Material Data Safety Sheet (MSDS) for specific guidelines on the type and hazard level of the fumes produced during coating.

PINCH AND CRUSH POINTS

This machine can create pinch points during normal assembly. To avoid injury, always adhere to the following precautions:

  • Do not place any part of your body in defined crush points on the machine when it is being assembled.
  • Be aware of all areas of the machine that could potentially be a pinching hazard, such as nested flanges, hinge points, and add-on attachment areas.

HOT MATERIALS

The curing process uses extremely high temperatures to cure powder coat. As a result, the material will be very hot after curing which can cause burns. To avoid injury, always adhere to the following precautions:

  • Always assume that metal resting on or in the machine is hot enough to cause severe burns.
  • Always allow the metal to sufficiently cool before handling.
  • Never handle hot metal with bare hands. Use gloves or tongs to remove material from the machine.

Materials
Parts
  • (1) Vulcan 16
Hardware
  • N/A
Tools
  • 4mm or 5/32 Carbide Drill bit
  • Cutting Oil
  • Drill
  • Rubbing Alcohol

Instructions

  1. Once you have selected the orientation best suited for your needs, look inside your oven and locate the provided pilot hole locations on your sidewalls. Use the provided image as a reference to easily locate the pilot holes.
  2. The provided pilot holes are approximately 1mm in diameter. They will need to be bored out further for ease of installation.
    PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
    Carbide drill bits are extremely susceptible to fracture and can eject sharp carbide during drilling. It is imperative to wear safety glasses during this process to avoid serious injury.
    Note
    Stainless steel is extremely resistant to drilling operations, making this a time intensive process. The use of cutting oil during drilling will prevent work hardening due to heat generated by friction. If you are new to carbide drill bits, go slowly and obtain a feel for the cut to ensure the longevity of your bit.
    Note
    The plates are not symmetrical while the sidewall assemblies are. Two hole locations have been provided to ensure proper alignment during installation. During drilling, ensure you use the same holes on both sidewalls to avoid misalignment of the plates. As an example, if mounting in the horizontal position on the left-hand wall AND using the leftmost pilot holes (closest to the door), when mounting to the right-hand wall, you would use the rightmost holes (closest to the door) to properly mirror the locations.
  3. With a carbide drill bit and cutting oil, work your way around to each mounting hole location and increase the diameter of the hole until it is slightly undersized to the provided M5.5 fasteners provided in your kit.
  4. Use rubbing Alcohol to remove residual cutting oil from the walls surface.
    Note
    Failure to wipe oil off the surface before running the oven can be a significant fire hazard. Ensure your surface is clean and ready for operation before turning on the heat element.

Tools
  • 4mm or 5/32 Carbide Drill bit
  • Cutting Oil
  • Drill
  • Rubbing Alcohol

Instructions

  1. Look inside your Vulcan 16 and locate the provided pilot hole locations on your sidewalls. Use the provided image as a reference to easily locate the pilot holes.
  2. The provided pilot holes are approximately 1mm in diameter. They will need to be bored out further for ease of installation.
    PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
    Carbide drill bits are extremely susceptible to fracture and can eject sharp carbide during drilling. It is imperative to wear safety glasses during this process to avoid serious injury.
    Note
    Stainless steel is extremely resistant to drilling operations, making this a time intensive process. The use of cutting oil during drilling will prevent work hardening due to heat generated by friction. If you are new to carbide drill bits, go slowly and obtain a feel for the cut to ensure the longevity of your bit.
    Note
    The plates are not symmetrical while the sidewall assemblies are. Two hole locations have been provided to ensure proper alignment during installation. During drilling, ensure you use the same holes on both sidewalls to avoid misalignment of the plates. As an example, if mounting in the horizontal position on the left-hand wall AND using the leftmost pilot holes (closest to the door), when mounting to the right-hand wall, you would use the rightmost holes (closest to the door) to properly mirror the locations.
  3. With a carbide drill bit and cutting oil, work your way around to each mounting hole location on both sidewalls and increase the diameter of the hole until it is slightly undersized to the provided M5.5 fasteners provided in your kit.
  4. Use rubbing Alcohol to remove residual cutting oil from the walls surface.
    Note
    Failure to wipe oil off the surface before running the oven can be a significant fire hazard. Ensure your surface is clean and ready for operation before turning on the heat element.
